Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is administering naloxone to a client who is experiencing opioid toxicity. Following administration of the medication, which of the following should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Breath sounds. Assessing breath sounds is crucial after administering naloxone as it can cause sudden withdrawal symptoms such as respiratory depression. Monitoring the client's ability to breathe effectively is a priority to prevent respiratory distress or failure. Blood pressure, pain level, and heart rate are important assessments but not as immediate as ensuring adequate ventilation. It is essential to prioritize airway management and respiratory status in a client with opioid toxicity.
