A 19-year-old male client who has sustained a severe head injury is intubated and placed on assisted

mechanical ventilation. To facilitate optimal ventilation and prevent the client from "fighting" the

ventilator, the health care provider administers pancuronium bromide IV, with adjunctive opioid

analgesia. What medication should be immediately accessible for a potential complication with this

drug?




A. Dantrolene sodium


B. Neostigmine bromide

bromide and would not be helpful in reversing the effects of the drug compared with the use of

anticholinergics.
