Question

which medications should the nurse caution the client about taking while receiving an opioid analgesic?
a antihypertensives.
b oral antidiabetics.
c antacids.
d benzodiazepines.

Explanation:

Opioid analgesics and benzodiazepines (option D) both have central nervous system depressant effects. Combining them can lead to increased respiratory depression, sedation, and other severe adverse effects. Antihypertensives (A) don't have a major interaction with opioids in this context. Oral antidiabetics (B) and antacids (C) also don't have the same level of dangerous interaction as benzodiazepines with opioids.

Answer:

D. Benzodiazepines
