Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Morphine is an opioid medication used to treat moderate to severe pain but comes with a list of contraindications where its use would be inappropriate or dangerous.
A-A myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, is not a contraindication for morphine; in fact, morphine can be used to relieve pain associated with heart attacks.
B-Postoperative pain management following hip arthroplasty often includes opioids like morphine, unless specific contraindications are present.
C-While morphine can affect respiratory function, bronchitis pleurisy is not listed as a direct contraindication. However, caution is advised due to the potential for respiratory depression.
D-Paralytic ileus, a condition of obstructed bowel without any mechanical cause, is a contraindication for morphine use because opioids can exacerbate the condition by slowing down intestinal motility, leading to increased risk of significant complications.
