Acute pain does not include chronic pain or pain being treated as part of cancer care, palliative care, or hospice or other end-of-life care. (d) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) or (b), if, in the professional clinical judgment of a practitioner, more than the limit specified in paragraph (a) or (b) is required to treat a patient's acute pain, the practitioner may issue a prescription for the quantity needed to treat the patient's acute pain.
