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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Breath sounds. The nurse should assess breath sounds first after administering naloxone to a client experiencing opioid toxicity because naloxone can cause sudden opioid withdrawal, leading to respiratory depression or potentially respiratory arrest. Monitoring breath sounds allows the nurse to quickly identify any signs of respiratory distress and intervene promptly. Assessing pain level (
A), heart rate (
C), or blood pressure (
D) is important but assessing breath sounds takes precedence in this situation to ensure the client's airway is clear and respiratory status is stable.
