Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Administration of naloxone hydrochloride (Narcan) competes for binding sites with narcotics, and will reverse the effects quickly, so the nurse would obtain the medication and have it ready when the provider prescribes it.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The total time the individual sleeps is the quantity of sleep.
