Correct Answer is B

Explanation

This is because naloxone is an opioid antagonist that rapidly reverses an opioid overdose by attaching to opioid receptors and reversing and blocking the effects of other opioids.

It can quickly restore normal breathing to a person if their breathing has slowed or stopped because of an opioid overdose.

Choice A is wrong because decreased nausea is not a therapeutic effect of naloxone.

Choice C is wrong because decreased blood pressure is not a therapeutic effect of naloxone.

Choice D is wrong because increased pain relief is not a therapeutic effect of naloxone.

A. The charge nurse. B. The quality improvement committee. C. The nurse who identifies the error. D. The nurse who caused the error.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The nurse who identifies the error is responsible for completing an incident report.

Initial reports often come from the frontline personnel directly involved in an event or the actions leading up to it.

Choice A is wrong because the charge nurse is not necessarily responsible for completing an incident report.

Choice B is wrong because the quality improvement committee is not responsible for completing an incident report.

Choice D is wrong because the nurse who caused the error may not be aware of it and therefore may not be responsible for completing an incident report.
