    A nurse is collecting data from a client who is experiencing oxycodone toxicity. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Tachycardia: Bradycardia, rather than tachycardia, is more typical of opioid toxicity. B. Sedation: Oxycodone toxicity causes CNS depression, resulting in sedation, respiratory depression, and pinpoint pupils. C. Dilated pupils: Pinpoint pupils are a classic sign of opioid toxicity. D. Tachypnea: Respiratory depression, rather than tachypnea, is expected in opioid toxicity.
