Answer to Question 1

C
The rarest and most dramatic symptom of alcohol withdrawal includes seizures. Another dramatic symptom is hallucinations involving animals, frequently spiders or other insects. Vomiting, sweating, and agitation are common symptoms of alcohol withdrawal.

Answer to Question 2

D
Psychiatric Nursing Diagnoses evolved to become a list of 113 diagnostic labels, many of which overlapped with the existing NANDA diagnoses. In 1994, the entire PND-1 list was presented to and adopted by NANDA for incorporation into NANDA's taxonomy.
