Question

question 5 of 6 which of the following is true about administering aid in an overdose emergency? you dont have to perform rescue breaths if you called 911. naloxone only works for an overdose involving depressants. performing rescue breaths mouth - to - mouth isnt effective at all. naloxone can work even if the person is not breathing on their own.

Explanation:

Naloxone is an opioid - antagonist that can reverse the effects of opioid overdose even if the person is not breathing spontaneously. Calling 911 does not eliminate the need for rescue breaths. Naloxone works specifically for opioid overdoses (not just depressants in general), and mouth - to - mouth rescue breaths can be life - saving in an overdose situation where breathing has stopped.

Answer:

D. Naloxone can work even if the person is not breathing on their own.
