The nurse working in the Emergency Department gets a call that a client with a suspected overdose of narcotics is in route to the facility. The nurse best prepares for the client's arrival by setting up:
 
  1. A tracheotomy set available for immediate use.
  2. An amphetamine ready to administer stat on admission.
  3. Naloxone hydrochloride (Narcan) ready to administer.
  4. An EKG machine and a technician on standby.

Rationale: Administration of naloxone hydrochloride (Narcan) competes for binding sites with narcotics, and will reverse the effects quickly, so the nurse would obtain the medication and have it ready when the provider prescribes it.
