Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Naloxone is an opioid antagonist, meaning it can reverse the depressant effects of opioid analgesics such as morphine and meperidine. Flumazenil reverses the effects of benzodiazepine drugs. Pentazocine is a narcotic agonist-antagonist.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
General anesthesia sedates the baby as well as the mother, so the baby may have more difficulty establishing normal respirations after birth.
