Question

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:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: Even after calling 911, rescue breaths may be necessary to support respiration until help arrives, so this is false.
• Option 2: Naloxone is used for opioid (not depressant) overdoses, so this is false.
• Option 3: Mouth - to - mouth rescue breaths can be effective in providing oxygen during an overdose emergency, so this is false.
• Option 4: Naloxone can reverse opioid overdose effects even if the person is not breathing on their own as it counteracts opioid - induced respiratory depression.

Answer:

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