    Danica Kate Galleon
    Morphine sulfate is an opioid agonist analgesic that acts on opioid receptors in the central nervous system to produce analgesia, euphoria, and sedation. It is indicated for relief of moderate to severe acute and chronic pain and can be used during anesthesia and with intraspinal microfusion devices. Common side effects include flushing, tachycardia, hypertension, and arrhythmias. Nurses should dilute and administer the drug slowly intravenously to minimize adverse effects and monitor for severe nausea, vomiting, and shortness of breath.
