1) Describe the CDC 2022 Clinical Practice Guidelines for prescribing opioids for pain, including recommendations for non-opioid therapy, dosage determination, and tapering strategies.

2) Differentiate between opioid and non-opioid options in multimodal pain management, including their mechanisms, benefits, and potential risks.

3) Apply evidence-based risk mitigation strategies—such as ILPMP review and naloxone co-prescribing—to optimize patient safety and reduce opioid-related harm.
