Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse needs to remember that a major side effect when administering opiates is respiratory depression. Narcan should be kept at the client's bedside, and respiratory rate should be assessed prior to administration of the next dose.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
TPN solution should be administered through a catheter inserted into the subclavian or jugular vein; the tip terminates in the superior vena cava. Sometimes a peripherally inserted central catheter is used; this long catheter is inserted into a peripheral arm vein but its tip terminates in the superior vena cava as well. Total parenteral nutrition is a hypertonic solution of nutrients designed to meet almost all caloric and nutritional needs. It is preferred for clients who are severely malnourished or may not be able to consume food or liquids for a long period. A TPN solution is not infused in a peripheral vein with its tip terminating in the saphenous vein.
