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: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Increased respiratory rate. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that reverses the effects of opioid medications like morphine. Morphine can cause respiratory depression, so administering naloxone can reverse this by increasing the client's respiratory rate. This is a therapeutic effect as it helps improve the client's breathing.
Incorrect choices:
A: Decreased nausea - Naloxone does not directly address nausea caused by morphine.
C: Decreased blood pressure - Naloxone does not have a significant impact on blood pressure.
D: Increased pain relief - Naloxone does not directly provide pain relief; it reverses the effects of opioids.
