Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C, E
Feedback:
The nurse is responsible for taking the client's allergy history, explaining how the anesthetic will be administered, preparing the area to be anesthetized, and applying a dressing to the area if appropriate. The physician administers the local injectable anesthetic.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
The client receives naloxone to reverse respiratory depression. Therefore, a respiratory rate and depth within acceptable parameters indicate that the drug was effective. The need for mechanical ventilation indicates that the client is still experiencing respiratory difficulty. Naloxone is not given for pain relief; however, pain relief must be addressed since the drug will negate any opioid pain relief. Naloxone does not affect fluid balance.
