Question 1 of 5
A nurse is administering naloxone to a client who has developed an adverse action to morphine. The nurse should identify which of the following findings as a therapeutic effect of naloxone?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Increased respiratory rate. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that reverses the effects of opioids like morphine. Morphine can cause respiratory depression, so administering naloxone can increase the client's respiratory rate by reversing this effect. Increased pain relief (
A) is incorrect because naloxone does not provide pain relief itself. Decreased blood pressure (
C) is incorrect as naloxone does not affect blood pressure directly. Decreased nausea (
D) is incorrect as naloxone does not specifically target nausea.
