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. Absent Chvostek's sign. B. Decreased vomiting. C. Cardiac arrhythmias absent. D. Improved cognition. E. Improved cognition.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Improved cognition should indicate to the nurse that the treatment with a hypertonic solution for hyponatremia is effective.

Hyponatremia can cause confusion and other neurological symptoms, so an improvement in cognition would suggest that the treatment is working to correct the electrolyte imbalance.

Choice A is wrong because Chvostek’s sign is a clinical sign of hypocalcemia, not hyponatremia.

Choice B is wrong because while vomiting can be a symptom of hyponatremia, a decrease in vomiting alone does not necessarily indicate that the treatment is effective.

Choice C is wrong because while hyponatremia can cause cardiac arrhythmias, the absence of arrhythmias alone does not necessarily indicate that the treatment is effective.
