A student has researched naloxone distribution programs and compiled the following notes:
- Naloxone reverses the respiratory depression caused by opioid overdose.
- It has little to no effect on someone who does not have opioids in their system.
- Distributing naloxone within communities expands access to it outside of hospital settings.
- Multiple doses of naloxone may be necessary to reverse an overdose involving especially potent synthetic opioids.
- Naloxone's effects can wear off sooner than the effects of some opioids, particularly long-acting ones.
- Emergency medical evaluation remains important even after naloxone successfully reverses an overdose.
The student wants to explain why someone who receives naloxone should still seek emergency medical care afterward. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

Answer and explanation
Answer: C: Because naloxone's effects can wear off sooner than the effects of some opioids, particularly long-acting ones, a person can fall back into overdose after the naloxone stops working, making…
The goal requires explaining why medical follow-up matters after naloxone works, and C is the only choice that supplies the actual mechanism: naloxone can wear off before the opioid does, creating a real risk of relapse into overdose. A describes naloxone's basic function without addressing the follow-up question. B describes a limitation unrelated to timing. D describes an access benefit unrelated to why follow-up care matters.
