Ans: A
Feedback:
When naloxone is given IV and the bolus is given too rapidly, withdrawal symptoms and the return of intense pain occur as the level of opioid is reduced. There is no indication that the client's pain hadn't been controlled previously. A change in the respiratory status does not lead to increased pain. If the dose was too small, the client would still be experiencing some of the effects of the opioid that is being reversed.
