Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Phenergan is normally given for nausea.
B Nubain is an analgesic given to women in labor.
C Stadol is an analgesic given to women in labor.
D Naloxone (Narcan) reverses narcotic-induced respiratory depression, which may
occur with administration of narcotic analgesia.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A An infant delivered within 1 to 4 hours of maternal analgesic administration is at
risk for respiratory depression from the sedative effects of the narcotic.
B Bradycardia is not the anticipated side effect of maternal analgesics.
C Acrocyanosis is an expected finding in a newborn and is not related to maternal
analgesics.
D The infant who is having a side effect to maternal analgesics normally would
have a decrease in respirations, not an increase.
