Correct answer: B. Acute myocardial infarcation
- A. Head injury
- B. Acute myocardial infarcation
- C. Acute abdominal pain before diagnosis
- D. Bronchial asthma
Explanation
Morphine may be used for severe pain associated with acute myocardial infarction, so this is the exception. It is avoided in head injury, undiagnosed acute abdominal pain and bronchial asthma because respiratory depression, raised intracranial pressure or masking of symptoms may result.
