A client is admitted to the emergency department because of a possible overdose of methadone and benzodiazepines. The admission respiratory rate is 6 breaths/minute. Based on this finding, the nurse should prepare for which intervention?

A) Gastric lavage may be considered in some cases of overdose, but the priority in this situation is addressing respiratory depression. B) Renal dialysis is not indicated for opioid and benzodiazepine overdose and does not address respiratory depression. C) Nebulizing with albuterol is used for respiratory conditions such as asthma and would not address opioid-induced respiratory depression. D) Naloxone is an opioid antagonist and is the treatment of choice for opioid overdose, including methadone overdose, to reverse respiratory depression and restore breathing.
