    Tolerance to a regular opioid dose can develop with frequent use. The client experiences increased discomfort, asks for medication more frequently, and exhibits anxious and restless behavior, actions which are often misinterpreted as indicative of developing dependence or addiction. The client's symptoms do not suggest that the dosage is too high. Addiction is a psychological condition in which a client takes drugs for nontherapeutic reasons. This client is receiving morphine for pain control. There are no data given about the client's coping mechanism
