A nurse is preparing to administer morphine IV to a client. Which of the following medications should the nurse plan to have available?
Neostigmine
Protamine
Naloxone
Flumazenil
The Correct Answer is C
Rationale- When administering morphine intravenously, it is essential to have an opioid antagonist available to reverse the effects of opioids in case of an overdose or adverse reaction. Naloxone is the medication typically used for this purpose. It can quickly reverse the effects of morphine, making it an essential safety measure during opioid administration.
A Neostigmine is used to reverse the effects of certain muscle relaxants,
B Protamine is used to reverse the effects of heparin, and
D Flumazenil is used to reverse the effects of benzodiazepines, none of which are relevant in the context of morphine administration.
