Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
If Narcan is given, the nurse should watch for increased narcotic symptoms (rebound) after the Narcan wears off.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Antiemetic agents should be used with extreme caution in patients doing tasks that require them to be mentally alert, because these products produce drowsiness.
