Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who received hydromorphone 4 mg 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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Naloxone. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist used to reverse the effects of opioid overdose, such as respiratory depression. In this case, the client's respiratory rate of 10/min indicates opioid overdose due to hydromorphone. Naloxone administration can help reverse the respiratory depression and restore normal breathing.
Choice A: Acetylcysteine is used for acetaminophen overdose, not opioid overdose.
Choice B: Protamine is used to reverse the effects of heparin, not opioids.
Choice D: Flumazenil is a benzodiazepine antagonist, not an opioid antagonist.
Therefore, the most appropriate choice in this scenario is Naloxone to address the opioid overdose and respiratory depression.
