The opioid is a drug in which it causes morphine like effects to an individual who has consumed it. When it is overdosed, it could lead to complications such as having difficulty of breathing in which could occur to death. The best action in the scenario above is to ventilate the patient with the use of bag valve mask in order to try in normalizing his breathing and to make his pulse responsive.
