a.Give the next scheduled opioid dose
b.Encourage the client to sleep
c.Document as an expected effect
d.Withhold further opioid, stimulate the client, and notify the RN

A respiratory rate of 8 with sedation suggests opioid-induced respiratory depression; the opioid is withheld, the client stimulated, and the RN notified. Giving more opioid worsens the depression. Naloxone may be indicated per orders.
