What is the priority interventions for respiratory depression for the newborn delivered 1 hour after the mother received a narcotic analgesic for labor pain?

Respuesta :

The priority intervention is to use a different narcotic that counters the effects of the previously used one and this is called a narcotic antagonist. In this case, the narcotic that should be used is Naloxone (Narcan), but that's just a brand name, other countries have probably different names for this narcotic because of their legislature.
