Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Answer and explanation

Choice A rationale:

Butorphanol is an opioid agonist-antagonist. It would not be the first choice to treat opioid-induced respiratory depression because it can also cause respiratory depression.

Choice B rationale:

Promethazine is an antihistamine that has sedative effects and could potentially worsen respiratory depression.

Choice C rationale:

Fentanyl is a potent opioid and would likely exacerbate respiratory depression.

Choice D rationale:

Naloxone is an opioid antagonist used to reverse the effects of opioids such as respiratory depression.
