Question 1 of 5
The client has taken an overdose of an opioid. The nurse knows the client must be carefully observed for which effect on respirations?
Correct Answer: C

A) is rapid breathing, not typically seen in opioid overdose. Eupnea (
B) is normal breathing pattern. Hyperpnea (
D) is increased depth of breathing, not commonly associated with opioid overdose. It is crucial to monitor for bradypnea to intervene promptly and prevent respiratory complications.
