A client with heroin toxicity presents with respiratory depression. The client is transferred to the intensive care unit. The doctor ordered Narcan. After giving the first dose of Narcan, the nurse should monitor for which of the following bodily responses?

Respiratory arrest
Myocardial infarction
Return of withdrawal symptoms
Hypotensive crisis

Explanation

Answer: C - The nurse should monitor for the return of withdrawal symptoms. Narcan is an opioid antagonist, which may result in sudden drop of opioid level in the blood. Severe hypertension, together with tachycardia, will most likely occur instead of hypotensive crisis.
