A patient has been taking naltrexone (ReVia) as part of the treatment for addiction to heroin. The nurse expects that the naltrexone will have which therapeutic effect for this patient?

▸ Naltrexone prevents the cravings for opioid drugs.

▸ Naltrexone works as a safer substitute for the heroin until the patient completes withdrawal.

▸ The patient will experience flushing, sweating, and severe nausea if he takes heroin while on naltrexone.

▸ If opioid drugs are used while taking naltrexone, euphoria is not produced; thus, the opioid’s desired effects are lost.
