Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is experiencing oxycodone toxicity. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Sedation. Oxycodone is an opioid that depresses the central nervous system, leading to symptoms such as sedation or drowsiness. This is because opioids like oxycodone bind to opioid receptors in the brain, causing a calming effect. Tachycardia (
A) and dilated pupils (
C) are more commonly associated with stimulant toxicity rather than opioid toxicity. Tachypnea (
D) is not a typical finding in opioid toxicity as opioids tend to depress the respiratory system, causing respiratory depression instead.
