The client is complaining of severe chest pain radiating down the left arm and is nauseated and diaphoretic. The HCP suspects the client is having a myocardial infarction (MI) and has ordered morphine sulfate (MS), a narcotic analgesic, for the pain. Which interventions should the nurse implement? Select all that apply.
1. Instruct the client not to get up out of the bed without notifying the nurse.
2. Administer the morphine sulfate (MS) intramuscularly in the ventral gluteal muscle.
3. Dilute the morphine sulfate (MS) to a 10-mL bolus with normal saline.
4. Administer the morphine sulfate (MS) slowly over 5 minutes.
5. Question the order because morphine sulfate (MS) should not be administered to a client with a myocardial infarction (MI).
