Question 1 of 5

A nurse is monitoring a client who received naloxone to counteract the effects of an opioid overdose. Which of the following findings should indicate to the nurse that the medication is effective?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Increased respiratory rate. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that reverses the effects of opioids, such as respiratory depression.
Therefore, an increased respiratory rate indicates that the naloxone is effectively counteracting the opioid's depressive effects on the client's breathing. This is a crucial sign of improvement in the client's condition.

Explanation of other choices:
A: Increased temperature is not directly related to the effectiveness of naloxone in reversing opioid overdose.
B: Decreased blood pressure may not be a reliable indicator of naloxone effectiveness as it can be influenced by various factors.
D: Report of decreased pain is not a specific indicator of naloxone effectiveness in reversing opioid overdose.
