A nurse in an emergency department is assessing a client who reports ingesting thirty diazepam tablets a respiratory rate of 10/min.
Question 1 of 5
After securing the client's airway and initiating an IV, which of the following actions should the nurse do next.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Administer flumazenil to the client. Flumazenil is a specific benzodiazepine receptor antagonist used to reverse the effects of benzodiazepine overdose, which includes respiratory depression. Administering flumazenil would help reverse the sedative effects of benzodiazepines and improve the client's respiratory status. Initiating gastric lavage with activated charcoal (
B) is not the immediate priority after securing the airway and IV. Placing the client in the Trendelenburg position (
C) is not recommended due to potential complications. Obtaining a stat CT scan of the brain (
D) is not necessary at this point and does not address the immediate concerns of airway and sedation reversal.
