Question 1 of 5

A client with chronic pain is being treated with opioid administration via epidural route. Which medication would it be most important to have available due to a possible complication of this pain relief procedure?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Epidural opioids can cause respiratory depression, a life-threatening complication. Naloxone (Narcan) is an opioid antagonist that reverses this effect, making it critical to have available. The other medications address pain, allergies, or nausea, not opioid-related complications.
