What are the two naloxone dosage methods described?

• A. Naloxone 4 mg IV; Naloxone 4 mg IM; Naloxone 0.5 mg IV; Naloxone 0.5 mg IM
• B. Naloxone 1 mg nasal spray; Naloxone 2 mg nasal spray; Naloxone 3 mg nasal spray; Naloxone 4 mg nasal spray
• C. Naloxone 2 mg via nasal spray; Naloxone 4 mg via nasal spray; Naloxone 1 mg per nostril; Naloxone 8 mg via syringe
• D. Naloxone 4 mg via nasal spray preloaded single-dose device (administer full dose in one nostril); Naloxone 2 mg via atomizer and syringe (administer 1 mg into each nostril)

Answer: (D)

Naloxone can be given intranasally in two common, practical dosing approaches described in EMS protocols. One uses a 4 mg nasal spray that is preloaded and administered as a single full dose in one nostril for a rapid reversal. The other uses an atomizer with a syringe to deliver 2 mg total by giving 1 mg into each nostril, allowing you to split the dose between both sides. These two methods cover the described options: a single 4 mg spray in one nostril, or 2 mg total split as 1 mg per nostril with an atomizer. The other, non-matching dose configurations aren’t described in this context, which is why this choice reflects the two dosing methods described.
