Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who has respiratory depression from an opioid administration.
Question 1 of 5
After administering naloxone, which finding should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: After administering naloxone, the nurse should expect an increased respiratory rate. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that reverses the effects of opioids, including respiratory depression. By blocking opioid receptors, naloxone can restore normal breathing patterns.
Choices A (Somnolence), C (Sudden onset of pain or discomfort), D (Hypertension and tachycardia), and E (Nausea and vomiting) are incorrect because they are not typical findings after administering naloxone. Somnolence would not be expected as naloxone counteracts sedation caused by opioids. Sudden onset of pain or discomfort is unrelated to naloxone administration. Hypertension and tachycardia are more indicative of opioid overdose, which naloxone would mitigate. Nausea and vomiting are also not common side effects of naloxone.
