Most recommendations were based on expert consensus. The guidelines recommended restricting opioids to severe pain or pain that has not responded to nonopioid therapy, using the lowest effective dose of short\u2010acting opioids for the shortest duration possible, and co\u2010prescribing opioids with nonopioid analgesics. The guidelines generally recommended checking the prescription drug monitoring program when prescribing opioids, developing goals for patient recovery, and educating patients regarding the risks and side effects of opioid therapy. Additional recommendations included using an opioid\u2010dose conversion guide, avoidance of co\u2010administration of parenteral and oral opioids, and using caution when co\u2010prescribing opioids with other central nervous system depressants.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Guidelines, based largely on expert opinion, recommend judicious prescribing of opioids for severe, acute pain.
