Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Narcan is an opioid antagonist and should be readily available when a client is receiving an opioid.
Rationale 2: Tylenol would not be helpful to have available for a client who is receiving morphine through PCA administration.
Rationale 3: Benadryl would not be helpful to have available for a client who is receiving morphine through PCA administration.
Rationale 4: Normal saline would not be helpful to have available for a client who is receiving morphine through PCA administration.
