Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client that was overdosed with fentanyl. The nurse is concerned that the client is experiencing opioid toxicity triad. Which of the following signs indicate that the client is experiencing opioid toxicity triad? (Select All That Apply.)
Correct Answer: A,B,D
Rationale: The correct signs indicating opioid toxicity triad are coma, respiratory depression, and pinpoint pupils. Coma is a severe manifestation of opioid overdose affecting the central nervous system. Respiratory depression is a hallmark of opioid toxicity due to the suppression of the respiratory drive. Pinpoint pupils (miosis) are a classic sign of opioid overdose due to the constriction of the pupils. These signs collectively represent the opioid toxicity triad. Dilated pupils (mydriasis) are not consistent with opioid toxicity, as opioids typically cause pinpoint pupils.
Therefore, choices C and any other options not mentioned are incorrect due to their inconsistency with the classic presentation of opioid toxicity.
