Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client with an opioid overdose. The nurse should identify the client is at risk for which acid-base imbalance?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Respiratory acidosis. In opioid overdose, respiratory depression can occur, leading to inadequate ventilation, causing retention of carbon dioxide and respiratory acidosis. This results in an increase in carbon dioxide levels in the blood, leading to acidosis. Metabolic acidosis (choice
A) is not directly related to opioid overdose. Respiratory alkalosis (choice
C) is unlikely as alkalosis results from hyperventilation, which is not typically seen in opioid overdose. Metabolic alkalosis (choice
D) is not related to respiratory depression caused by opioids.
