|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\

|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




understands that the patient chronically drinks alcohol. Which of the following effect of the |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




interaction between opioid analgesic and alcohol should the nurse monitor for in the patient?
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\

|||\\\




b. Hypotension
|||\\\




c. Respiratory depression
|||\\\ |||\\\




d. Central nervous system depression - correct answer✔✔d. Central nervous system
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




depression



Rationale: |||\\\




The nurse should monitor the patient for central nervous system depression. The nurse need
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




not monitor the patient for respiratory depression, hypotension, and sedation because these
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




are the effects of interaction of opioid analgesic with barbiturates, not alcohol.
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




Which of the following conditions would occur due to the administration of an opioid
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




antagonist in a patient who is physically dependent on opioids? |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




a. Insomnia
|||\\\




b. Hypotension
|||\\\




c. Withdrawal symptoms
|||\\\ |||\\\




d. Drowsiness - correct answer✔✔c. Withdrawal symptoms
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




Rationale: |||\\\

,Opioid antagonists produce withdrawal symptoms in patients who are physically dependent on
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




opioids. Drowsiness, hypotension, and insomnia do not occur in opioid dependent patients
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




who are administered opioid antagonists.
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




When administering an opioid antagonist drug to a client, the primary goal of the therapy is to
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




provide which of the following? |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




a. A return to normal respiratory rate, rhythm, and depth
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




b. A reduction in the client's rating of their pain
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




c. Promote alertness and improve memory function
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




d. Management of alcohol withdrawal symptoms - correct answer✔✔b. A return to normal
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




respiratory rate, rhythm, and depth |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




Rationale: |||\\\




The primary reason for administering an opioid antagonist is because the client is experiencing
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




respiratory depression. Therefore, the goal is to improve the client's respiratory rate, rhythm, |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




and depth. None of the other options is part of the drug therapy.
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




A patient with respiratory depression is administered an opioid antagonist by the nurse. What
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




ongoing assessment should the nurse perform when administering the opioid antagonist to the
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




patient?
|||\\\




a. Monitor the blood pH level of the patient
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\

|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




c. Teach different breathing patterns to the patient

d. Review allergy history and other treatment modalities - correct answer✔✔b. Monitor vital
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




signs every 5 to 15 minutes. |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




Rationale: |||\\\




The ongoing assessment performed by the nurse when administering an opioid antagonist to
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




the patient involves monitoring the vital signs of the patient every 5 to 15 minutes. Monitoring
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




the blood pH level of the patient is not a part of the ongoing assessment. Reviewing the allergy
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\

, history and other treatment modalities and coaching different breathing patterns to the
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




patient are pre-administration assessments that are performed before the administration of
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




the drug; they are not ongoing assessments.
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\

|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\

a. Respiratory depression
|||\\\ |||\\\




b. Withdrawal
|||\\\




c. Intense pain
|||\\\ |||\\\




d. Hypotension
|||\\\




e. Vomiting - correct answer✔✔b. Withdrawal
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




c. Intense pain
|||\\\ |||\\\




d. Vomiting|||\\\




Rationale: |||\\\




Withdrawal, return of intense pain, and vomiting may occur if the nurse administers naloxone |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




(Narcan) as a rapid IV bolus. |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




How quickly does naloxone (Narcan) work to reverse opioid induced respiratory depression?
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




(Choose one) |||\\\




a. 30 to 60 minutes
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




b. 1 to 2 minutes
|||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\ |||\\\




c. 10 to 15 minutes
