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. Western blot analysis. B. Pancreatic enzymes. C. Exercise electrocardiography. D. Liver function tests.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Lovastatin is a lipid-lowering medication that belongs to the statin drug class.

It is used to treat and prevent coronary heart disease and hypercholesterolemia.

Before starting therapy with lovastatin, liver function tests should be performed to establish a baseline and monitor for any potential adverse effects on the liver.

Choice A is wrong because Western blot analysis, is not the correct answer because it is a laboratory technique used to detect specific proteins in a sample, not to monitor liver function.

Choice B is wrong because Pancreatic enzymes, is not the correct answer because it refers to enzymes produced by the pancreas that aid in digestion, not liver function.

Choice C is wrong because Exercise electrocardiography, is not the correct answer because it is a diagnostic test used to assess the heart’s response to physical stress, not liver function.
