Correct Answer: 2

Rationale 2: CNS stimulants increase activity of the CNS. Symptoms include increased blood pressure, increased respiration rate, dilated pupils, sweating, and tremors.
Rationale 3: CNS depressant is incorrect because opioids, alcohol, and CNS depressants all depress the CNS. Symptoms would include decreased blood pressure, decreased respiration rate, and constricted pupils.
Rationale 4: Opioid is incorrect because opioids, alcohol, and CNS depressants all depress the CNS. Symptoms would include decreased blood pressure, decreased respiration rate, and constricted pupils.
