ATI RN Pharmacology 2023 Retake 2 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has received oxycodone. The nurse notes that the client's respiratory rate is 8/min. The nurse should identify that which of the following is the pathophysiology for the client's respiratory rate?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Oxycodone causes central nervous system depression. Oxycodone is an opioid that acts on the central nervous system, specifically on the brainstem respiratory centers, causing respiratory depression. This results in a decrease in the respiratory rate. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not directly relate to respiratory depression caused by oxycodone. Option A refers to the mechanism of action of NSAIDs, not opioids like oxycodone. Option B refers to the effect on cranial arteries, which is unrelated to respiratory rate. Option C describes the mechanism of local anesthetics, not opioids.
