Question 1 of 5
The nurse in the Emergency Department (ED) assesses a 17-year-old patient with blue-tinged lips slowed respirations and pinpoint pupils. The patient has no response to painful stimuli. Which of the following should be the nurse's priority action?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Administer oxygen via 100% nonrebreather and place an IV catheter to give naloxone. The priority action here is to address the patient's respiratory distress and potential opioid overdose. Administering oxygen will help improve oxygenation, and naloxone can reverse the effects of opioids, potentially saving the patient's life. Placing an IV catheter will ensure that naloxone can be administered rapidly and effectively. The other options are incorrect because defibrillation is not indicated for the symptoms described, administering naloxone intranasally without an IV may delay treatment, and contacting the parents for consent is not the immediate priority in this critical situation.
