Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
Toxic effects develop after prolonged intake of a medication, when a medication accumulates in the blood as the result of decreased clearance by the liver and/or kidneys (because of impaired metabolism or excretion), or when too high a dose is given. Respiratory depression and sedation are known effects of opioid toxicity. Naloxone reverses the effects of opioids, including pain relief.

Answer to Question 2

C
C. If client becomes hypoxic, discontinue procedure until stable and provide oxygen therapy as needed if ordered.
A. Stop suctioning and administer some oxygen. Suctioning can decrease usable oxygen to the client during suctioning.
B and D. Discontinue procedure until stable and provide oxygen therapy as needed if ordered.
