Question 1 of 5

The nurse administers naloxone to a client with opioid-induced respiratory depression. One hour later, nursing assessment reveals that the client has a respiratory rate of 4 breaths/minute, oxygen saturation of 75%, and is unable to be aroused. Which action should the nurse implement?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Persistent respiratory depression (4 breaths/min, 75% saturation) indicates ongoing opioid toxicity. Naloxone’s short half-life may require a second dose to reverse opioid effects. Chest tubes, GCS, or CPR do not address the opioid-related cause.
