Which topic specifically addresses nasal naloxone administration?

• A. Naloxone Nasal Instructions
• B. Naloxone Auto-injector (Evzio) Instructions
• C. Naloxone Injection Instructions
• D. Stab/ Gunshot/ Penetrating Trauma

Answer: (A)

Nasal naloxone delivery uses a specialized spray device and a technique unique to intranasal administration. That’s why the topic focused on nasal instructions is the best fit: it covers how to use the nasal spray correctly—priming the device, placing the nozzle in a nostril, delivering a full spray, and then reassessing the patient and repeating if needed. These steps are specific to the nasal route and differ from other naloxone delivery methods.

The auto-injector topic pertains to an injection device (not nasal spray), so its instructions focus on intramuscular or subcutaneous delivery. The injection instructions cover routes other than nasal. The trauma topic is unrelated to naloxone administration routes altogether.
