What must a prescriber obtain before beginning treatment for chronic non-cancer pain?

  1. Insurance approval

  2. A second opinion

  3. The patient's health history

  4. Approval from a pharmacist

The correct answer is: The patient's health history

Before beginning treatment for chronic non-cancer pain, a prescriber needs to obtain the patient's health history. This is important because it allows the prescriber to understand the patient's medical conditions, previous treatments, and any potential interactions with other medications. Insurance approval and approval from a pharmacist may be necessary for certain medications, but they are not the first step in the treatment process. A second opinion may also be helpful, but it is not a requirement before starting treatment. Therefore, the best option is to obtain the patient's health history before beginning treatment for chronic non-cancer pain.
