My 87 yr old mum was given 2.5mg iv morphine in ed for headache. she became confused 24 hours later. could it be the morphine?

Need more info: Why was she in the er (please don't use ed; that stands for erectile dysfunction to most doctors)? Why was she given morphine for a headache? Does she have a history of migraines? What other medical problems does she have? What other meds/supplements does she take? We need all this info to give an intelligent response. Morphine can cause confusion; so can many other drugs.
