Time release capsules:

Choice A reason: Temperature isn’t critical for morphine; respiratory depression is priority. This errors per nursing pharmacology standards. It’s universally distinct, less urgent than breathing.

Choice B reason: BP is relevant, but morphine’s main risk is respiratory. Rate trumps it per nursing standards. This is universally distinct, secondary to respiration.

Choice C reason: Morphine depresses breathing; respiratory rate is critical pre-administration. This aligns with nursing pharmacology standards. It’s universally distinct, ensuring safety first.

Choice D reason: Heart rate matters less than respiratory risk with morphine. This choice misaligns with nursing priorities. It’s universally distinct, not the top concern.

Choice A reason: Rectal is enteral, using the GI tract for absorption. Vaginal isn’t enteral. This fits nursing pharmacology standards. It’s universally distinct, part of digestive routes.

Choice B reason: Nasogastric delivers to stomach, an enteral method clearly. Vaginal differs entirely. This aligns with nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, a GI route.

Choice C reason: Vaginal is topical/mucosal, not enteral like GI routes. This is the exception per nursing pharmacology. It’s universally distinct, outside digestive administration methods.

Choice D reason: Oral is enteral, absorbed via digestive system typically. Vaginal isn’t included. This matches nursing standards. It’s universally distinct, a core enteral route.
