A nurse is caring for a client who is taking fluphenazine and is experiencing tardive dyskinesia. Which of the following medications should the nurse anticipate the provider to prescribe for this client?

A. Opioid overdose typically results in pupillary constriction (miosis), rather than dilation.

B. Opioid overdose can, though not typically,cause an irregular rapid heart rate

C. Acute opioid toxicity cause respiratory depression.

D. Opioid overdose typically results in hypotension (low blood pressure) rather than hypertension.

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. Addressing the problem that the client believes is the most significant acknowledges the client's autonomy, respects their perspective, and ensures that their needs are prioritized.

A. This statement suggests a narrow focus on the immediate reason for the client's visit. While addressing the client's presenting concern is important, a limited assessment may overlook underlying issues or social determinants of health that could impact the client's well-being.

B. While privacy is important, asking clients for income or financial information may be necessary to assess their eligibility for financial assistance programs or to understand socioeconomic factors that may impact their health and access to care.

D. This statement suggests overlooking the importance of cultural competence in nursing practice. Cultural traditions, beliefs, and practices can significantly influence a client's health beliefs, behaviors, and preferences for care.
