Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who received hydromorphone 4mg IV 15 min ago. The client has a respiratory rate of 10/min. the nurse should prepare to administer which of the following medications?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Naloxone. Hydromorphone is an opioid that can cause respiratory depression. The client's low respiratory rate of 10/min indicates potential opioid overdose. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that reverses the effects of opioids, such as respiratory depression. Administering naloxone can help restore normal breathing in the client. Flumazenil (
B) is used to reverse the effects of benzodiazepines, not opioids. Activated charcoal (
C) is used for toxin ingestion, not opioid overdose. Atropine (
D) is a medication used for bradycardia, not respiratory depression. Diphenhydramine (E) is an antihistamine and is not indicated in this situation.
