TL;DRInvestigating nurses' opinions of the appropriate implementation of range orders found a trend for nurses with a master's degree to have a higher percentage of appropriate responses than nurses with other educational preparation, and consideration of opioid pharmacokinetics can provide logic to develop a new paradigm where range orders are replaced with orders that provide more explicit instructions to titrate an opioid to the most effective dose.
