Free BCEN Certified Flight Registered Nurse (CFRN) Practice Question
A 32-year-old pregnant woman at 28 weeks gestation is being transported after a motor vehicle accident. Which medication is most appropriate to manage her pain considering her pregnancy?
Acetaminophen is the preferred pain management medication for pregnant women due to its safety profile in pregnancy. NSAIDs like ibuprofen and aspirin can cause complications such as premature closure of the ductus arteriosus and should generally be avoided. Opioids have potential risks, including neonatal withdrawal syndrome, making acetaminophen the safer choice for this scenario.
