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, including respiratory depression.
Therefore, an increased respiratory rate indicates that the medication is effective in reversing the opioid overdose. Decreased blood pressure (
A) is not a direct indicator of naloxone effectiveness. Report of decreased pain (
B) is not a reliable indicator as naloxone does not directly affect pain perception. Increased temperature (
D) is not a typical response to naloxone administration in this context.
