The correct answer is: 100 times

Fentanyl is recognized as being approximately 100 times more potent than morphine. This significant potency means that a much smaller dose of fentanyl is required to achieve the same level of pain relief as a larger dose of morphine. The high potency of fentanyl contributes to its effectiveness in medical settings, particularly for managing severe pain, but it also raises the risks of overdose and respiratory depression if not used carefully. This distinction is critical for corrections officers to understand, especially in cases where they may encounter substances related to opioid use and the potential for abuse. Understanding the potency differences among opioids helps in assessing the risks associated with their misuse and in applying appropriate first aid responses in emergencies.
