Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has opioid intoxication. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Pinpoint pupils. Opioid intoxication causes miosis, resulting in constricted or pinpoint pupils. This occurs due to the suppression of the sympathetic nervous system. Hyperreflexia (
B) is not typically associated with opioid intoxication; it is more common in conditions like spinal cord injury. Opioids depress the respiratory system, leading to decreased respiratory rate (
C), not increased. Dilated pupils (
D) are more indicative of stimulant intoxication, such as amphetamines.
