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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
