The nurse is assessing a 45-year-old patient who is taking Morphine via a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) following surgery. The nurse finds the patient difficult to arouse and his respirations are 6 per minute. The most appropriate action by the nurse is to administer?

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 26 in., d = 23.5 in., and L = 22 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 1.479167 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 0.9 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with two No. 6 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 7,300 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Using the effective moment of inertia, determine the immediate mid-span deflection of the beam due to the combined service loads (dead plus live).The effective moment of inertia Ie = 5,939.7 in.4.

A simply supported beam with dimensions of b = 18 in., h = 30 in., d = 27.5 in., and L = 22 ft supports a uniform service (unfactored) dead load of 2.2625 kips/ft including its own self weight plus a uniform service (unfactored) live load of 1.2 kips/ft. The beam is reinforced with five No. 8 Grade 60 bars. The concrete strength is 9,700 psi (normal weight). The beam has Grade 60 No. 3 stirrups. Determine the effective moment of inertia, Ie.The cracked moment Mcr = 166.2 kip-ft, and the maximum applied bending moment due to the combined service loads (dead plus live) Ma = 209.5 kip-ft. The neutral axis location of the cracked beam (measured from the top of the beam) is 6.8434 in.
