Naloxone

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : B,C

A. Ibuprofen: Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID commonly used for
pain relief and inflammation. However, it may not be suitable for this patient due to the potential risk of bleeding and interference with wound healing after surgery.
B. Docusate sodium: Docusate sodium is a stool softener commonly prescribed with opioids to prevent constipation, a common side effect of opioid use. It helps to prevent or alleviate opioid- induced constipation.
C. Naloxone: Naloxone is an opioid antagonist used to reverse the effects of opioid overdose. It is typically prescribed alongside opioids as a precautionary measure to counteract the respiratory
depression and sedation that can occur with opioid use. Administering naloxone can rapidly reverse these effects and restore normal breathing if opioid overdose is suspected.

D. Propofol: Propofol is a sedative-hypnotic medication used for anesthesia induction and
maintenance during surgical procedures. It is not typically prescribed for pain management after surgery.
E. Methadone: Methadone is an opioid agonist often used for managing chronic pain and opioid dependence. While it is an option for pain management, it may not be the first choice for acute post-operative pain relief.
F. SennA Senna is a stimulant laxative used to treat constipation. While constipation is a concern with opioid use, docusate sodium is more commonly prescribed initially for its stool softening effects

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Secure chest tube to the stretcher for transport: While securing the chest tube is important to prevent dislodgement during transport, the priority is to ensure proper drainage and prevent air leaks by keeping the chest tube container below the site of insertion.
B. Mark the amount of chest drainage on the container: While it's important to document chest drainage, ensuring proper drainage by keeping the container below the insertion site takes precedence, especially during transport.
C. Keep the chest tube container below the site of insertion: Correct! Keeping the chest tube
container below the site of insertion ensures continuous drainage of air and fluid from the pleural space, which is crucial for maintaining respiratory function and preventing complications such as pneumothorax.
D. Administer PRN pain medication prior to transport: Pain management is important, but in this urgent situation, maintaining proper chest tube function and respiratory support is the priority.

A. Yellow-tinged sputum B. Nausea and headache C. Watery diarrhea D. Increased fatigue

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Yellow-tinged sputum is not uncommon in patients with pneumonia and while it should be monitored, it is not typically a sign of an adverse reaction to linezolid.

B. Nausea and headache may occur with many medications and are not specific to linezolid; these symptoms should be reported, but they are not the most critical.

C. Watery diarrhea could indicate a potentially serious condition known as Clostridium difficile- associated diarrhea, which is an important complication to report when a patient is on antibiotics like linezolid.

D. Increased fatigue can be associated with the client's underlying condition of pneumonia and while it should be assessed, it is not the most critical finding to report in relation to linezolid therapy.
