Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Diarrhea is not an adverse effect of morphine sulfate; constipation is an adverse effect, thus further teaching is indicated.
Adverse effects of morphine sulfate include orthostatic hypotension, thus no further teaching is indicated.
Urinary retention is an adverse effect of morphine sulfate, thus no further teaching is indicated.
Bradypnea is an adverse effect of morphine sulfate, thus no further teaching is indicated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The administration of naloxone would be the correct choice, because it is a direct antagonist for opiates.
Flumazenil would be indicated for benzodiazepine overdose.
Atropine would be indicated for organophosphate poisoning.
Epinephrine would be indicated for anaphylaxis.
