For an unresponsive patient with suspected opioid overdose which of the following is the most reasonable treatment? If a patient has no pulse and no breathing, naloxone should be administered first before providing other care. With a patient in cardiac arrest, the focus should be high-quality CPR rather than naloxone administration. Administer 1 dose of naloxone and give 2 minutes of rescue breathing before considering CPR. Only administer naloxone if the patient is older than 12 years of age.

Answer 1

In the case of an unresponsive patient with suspected opioid overdose who is in cardiac arrest (i.e., has no pulse and no breathing), the most reasonable treatment is actually to focus on high-quality CPR. While naloxone is an important medication for reversing opioid overdoses, it is not the first priority in a situation where the patient is unresponsive and not breathing. The immediate focus should be on providing chest compressions and rescue breaths if trained to do so.

Therefore, the correct approach is to initiate CPR immediately and, if available, administer naloxone as soon as possible after starting CPR. Administering naloxone does not replace the need for high-quality CPR and should not delay it, especially in a case of cardiac arrest.

To summarize, in a suspected opioid overdose with unresponsiveness and cardiac arrest, the priority is high-quality CPR, and naloxone can be administered concurrently as soon as feasible.

Answer 2

Answer 3

The correct answer is that the focus should be on high-quality CPR rather than naloxone administration for a patient in cardiac arrest. While administering naloxone is important in cases of opioid overdose, immediate CPR takes precedence when there is no pulse and no breathing.

Answer 5

Apologies for any confusion. The best choice in this scenario is:

With a patient in cardiac arrest, the focus should be high-quality CPR rather than naloxone administration.

This prioritizes immediate life-saving measures.
