All of the following should be considered to help minimize opioid addiction risk EXCEPT:

  1. Recommending marijuana as a substitute
  2. Preferring non-opioid medications over opioids whenever possible
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Recommending marijuana as a substitute

Recommending marijuana as a substitute for pain management is not an evidence-based or guideline-recommended strategy for minimizing opioid addiction risk in dental practice. Preferring non-opioid analgesics (like NSAIDs/acetaminophen combinations) whenever clinically appropriate IS a well-established, recommended strategy.
