Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a postoperative client who received Midazolam as part of the anesthesia. The client is now in the recovery room. While assessing the client, the nurse observes respiratory depression and decreased oxygen saturation. What immediate actions should the nurse take to address this situation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Increasing the infusion would worsen respiratory depression. Supplemental oxygen is supportive but does not address the cause of respiratory depression. Midazolam can cause respiratory depression, and flumazenil (a benzodiazepine antagonist) is the antidote; however, if naloxone is available, it may reverse sedation quickly in emergency scenarios. While neurological assessment is vital, it does not address the immediate issue of respiratory compromise.
