A nurse in an emergency department is administering naloxone to a client who had a heroin overdose.
The nurse should identify which of the following assessment findings as an indication that the medication is reversing the effects of the opioid overdose?

Choice C rationale:

Recommending scrambled eggs is appropriate for a client with dysphagia caused by a stroke. Scrambled eggs have a soft and moist texture, making them easier to swallow for individuals with difficulty swallowing. It is crucial to choose foods that are easy to chew and swallow, as well as foods that can be easily moistened with sauces or gravies to aid in swallowing.

Choice A rationale:

Crispy rice bars are dry and hard, posing a significant risk for individuals with dysphagia. Foods that are dry, crunchy, or crumbly can be difficult to swallow and may lead to choking, especially for individuals with impaired swallowing abilities. Therefore, crispy rice bars are not a suitable choice for a client with dysphagia.

Choice B rationale:

Peanut butter, especially when consumed without added moisture or in large amounts, can be thick and sticky, making it challenging to swallow, especially for individuals with dysphagia. It can adhere to the walls of the throat, causing discomfort and difficulty in swallowing. While peanut butter can be a good source of protein, it is not an ideal choice for someone with swallowing difficulties.

Choice D rationale:

Soda crackers are dry and can be crumbly, making them a poor

Choice A rationale:

Oxytocin is not typically administered during a nonstress test. Oxytocin is a hormone that induces or augments labor contractions; it is not used in nonstress testing, which monitors fetal heart rate and movement. The administration of oxytocin during nonstress testing would not be appropriate or necessary.

Choice B rationale:

Fasting is not required for a nonstress test. Nonstress testing involves attaching electronic fetal monitors to the mother's abdomen to measure the baby's heart rate and movement. It does not require the patient to abstain from eating or drinking. Imposing unnecessary restrictions on the client's diet could cause discomfort and anxiety, which is not conducive to an accurate assessment.

Choice C rationale:

Nonstress testing is used to evaluate the baby's heart rate response to its own movements. It does not diagnose genetic problems. Genetic testing, such as amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, is a different type of test used to detect genetic abnormalities in the fetus. Therefore, this statement does not reflect an understanding of the purpose of nonstress testing.

Choice D rationale:

This is the correct answer. Nonstress testing involves monitoring the baby's heart rate and movement. During the test, the mother pushes a button when she feels the baby move. This allows the healthcare provider to correlate fetal movements with changes in the baby's heart rate. An understanding of this process indicates that the client comprehends the purpose and procedure of the nonstress test.
