Question 1 of 5
The nurse is collecting data for a client suspected of a drug overdose and notes the clients has slow breathing and decreased blood pressure. The nurse correctly documents these findings as:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Bradypnea and hypotension. Bradypnea refers to slow breathing, which is indicative of respiratory depression commonly seen in drug overdose. Hypotension, or decreased blood pressure, can also occur due to the depressive effects of certain drugs. Tachypnea (choice
A) is rapid breathing, which is opposite to what is observed in the client. Hypertension (choices B and
C) is increased blood pressure, which is not consistent with the findings of decreased blood pressure in the client.
Therefore, choices A, B, and C can be ruled out. The correct answer, D, aligns with the assessment findings of slow breathing and decreased blood pressure in a client suspected of a drug overdose.
