1. MB is ordered hydromorphone 4mg PO q4h. When he takes it
regularly, he rates his pain at a 0. MB is his own caregiver and
has great difficulty remembering to take his medication because he
is demented. You would like to recommend that the physician change
him to a fentanyl patch. What dose would you would recommend, what
would you recommend for his breakthrough pain and what
recommendations for switching him over to the fentanyl patch?
