Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should explain that naloxone restores respiratory function within 1 to 2 minutes after administration. Naloxone neither stops internal bleeding nor restores limb reflexes. Naloxone also does not overcome pain.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor for sweating when caring for the client since it is one of the adverse reactions of opioid antagonists. Other adverse reactions include nausea, vomiting, tachycardia, increased blood pressure, and tremors. The nurse need not monitor for cramps, low blood pressure, or skin inflammation since these conditions are not known to be caused by opioid antagonists.
