Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The ongoing assessment performed by the nurse when administering an opioid antagonist to the client involves monitoring the vital signs of the client every 5 to 15 minutes. Monitoring the blood pH level of the client is not part of the ongoing assessment. Reviewing the allergy history and other treatment modalities and teaching different breathing patterns to the client are preadministration assessments that are performed before the administration of the drug; they are not ongoing assessments.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C
Feedback:
Withdrawal, return of intense pain, and vomiting may occur if the nurse administers naloxone (Narcan) as a rapid IV bolus.
