As a result of opioid administration, a child's respirations are slow and shallow. Which should the nurse anticipate when assessing the child's arterial blood gas?
- A. Increased PCO2 and respiratory acidosis
- B. Decreased PCO2 and respiratory alkalosis
- C. Low pH and low PCO2
- D. High pH and high PCO2
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When a child's respirations are slow and shallow due to opioid administration, it results in hypoventilation. This leads to retaining carbon dioxide, indicated by an increased PCO2 level on arterial blood gas analysis, and subsequently causes respiratory acidosis due to the buildup of CO2 in the blood.

A child returns from exploratory surgery following a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Which nursing intervention should be excluded from the plan of care?
- A. Immediate initiation of oral feedings
- B. Assessment of the surgical site
- C. Administration of opioid narcotics for pain management
- D. Visitation at the bedside
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Immediate initiation of oral feedings is contraindicated post-abdominal surgery due to the risk of bowel complications such as paralytic ileus or anastomotic leak. Starting oral feedings immediately can increase the risk of these complications and hinder the healing process. It is crucial to wait until bowel function returns and the patient shows signs of tolerance before introducing oral feedings. Assessment of the surgical site, administration of opioid narcotics for pain management, and visitation at the bedside are essential components of postoperative care and should not be excluded.
