Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The use of opioids for chronic pain poses multiple challenges for nurse practitioners. While most clients with chronic pain can safely use these medications, there is a subset of patients who may exhibit aberrant behaviors during opioid therapy. These behaviors can indicate the possibility of drug diversion, substance abuse, or undertreated pain. Screening tools, opioid contracts, and urine drug testing may decrease clinician barriers to using opioids for chronic pain in primary care settings. The identification of at-risk patients before initiating opioids can optimize analgesia while safeguarding the legitimate use of these drugs to treat pain.
