Question 1 of 5

A nurse is administering naloxone to a client who has developed an adverse reaction to morphine. The nurse should identify which of the following findings as a therapeutic effect of naloxone.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Increased respiratory rate. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that reverses the effects of opioids like morphine, including respiratory depression. By blocking the opioid receptors, naloxone can increase the client's respiratory rate, ensuring adequate oxygenation. Increased pain relief (
A) would not be a therapeutic effect of naloxone as it does not directly affect pain receptors. Decreased blood pressure (
B) is not a direct effect of naloxone but can occur due to other factors. Decreased nausea (
D) is not a common effect of naloxone and would not be considered a therapeutic effect in this context.
