The answer is: 2 to 3 minutes.

Explanation: Naloxone is a medication used to reverse the effects of opioid overdose. When administering naloxone, it is important to wait 2 to 3 minutes after the first dose to assess the individual's response. If there is no improvement in the person's breathing or consciousness, a second dose may be necessary. This timeframe allows the first dose to take effect and provides a clear indication of whether additional intervention is required.

  • 2 to 3 minutes: This is the correct timeframe to wait before administering a second dose of naloxone if there is no response from the first dose.
  • 4 to 5 minutes: This is longer than the recommended waiting period. In an emergency situation, waiting too long could delay necessary treatment and increase the risk of harm.
