    What are the toxic effects of overdose for Acetaminophen?  What is the antidote?

    • Nephrotoxicity

    • Hepatotoxicity

    • Mucomyst (Acetylcysteine)

    • Meperidine (Demeral)

    What is the antidote for morphine overdose?

    • Naxolone (Narcann)

    • Methadone

    • Mucomyst (Acetylcysteine)

    • Narcotic antagonist

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Naxolone (Narcann)
    A. Narcotic antagonist
    Explanation
    Naloxone (Narcan) is an opioid antagonist that is commonly used as an antidote for morphine overdose. It works by binding to the opioid receptors in the brain, blocking the effects of morphine and reversing its overdose symptoms. Methadone is not an antidote for morphine overdose, but rather a long-acting opioid medication used for opioid addiction treatment. Mucomyst (Acetylcysteine) is used to treat acetaminophen (paracetamol) overdose, not morphine overdose. "Narcotic antagonist" is a general term that refers to any medication that blocks the effects of opioids, including naloxone.
