Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who overdosed on morphine and has a respiratory rate of 6/min. Which medication should the nurse plan to administer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Naloxone. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that reverses the effects of opioids like morphine, particularly respiratory depression. Administering naloxone will help reverse the client's respiratory depression caused by the morphine overdose, restoring a normal respiratory rate. Epinephrine (
A) is used for severe allergic reactions or cardiac arrest, not for opioid overdose. Protamine (
B) is used to reverse the effects of heparin. Flumazenil (
C) is a benzodiazepine antagonist, not effective for opioid overdose.
