C. This statement indicates an understanding of the needs of clients who are part of vulnerable populations because it demonstrates an awareness of the importance of client-centered care.

While tolerance can develop in both the mother and the fetus when opioids are used during pregnancy, the manifestations observed in the newborn, such as irritability, tremors, and feeding difficulties, are not indicative of tolerance.
