[quote=Anonymous]Nurse here who has given Narcan a few times, none due to medical negligence. And I'm certainly not one to say negligence doesn't occur, as I've seen it first hand. All the experiences I've had given it have been for reasons 2358 stated. They've been given an appropriate dose, maybe on the high end of appropriate but still ok, but are too sedated. I've never had to give it for respiratory distress, all the times have been basically because a patient becomes so sedated they aren't responding appropriately. Managing post op pain in elderly can be difficult. I wouldn't immediately jump to medical negligence or respiratory problems. What he should do is request all his records so he has drug, dose, and time administered. [/quote]
