Essential Initiate supplemental oxygen 2 L per minute via nasal cannula. Nonessential Educate the client about the importance of pre-medication before exercise Contraindicated Lower the head of the bed and turn the client side-lying Administer naloxone to reverse the client's symptoms Encourage rebreathing techniques, such as breathing into a paper bag
