Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Rationale 1: Propoxyphene (Darvon) is incorrect because this drug is an opioid.
Rationale 2: Fentanyl (Druagesic) is incorrect because this drug is an opioid.
Rationale 3: Methadone (Dolphine) is used to treat opioid addiction.
Rationale 4: Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) is incorrect because this drug is an opioid.

Global Rationale: Methadone (Dolphine) is used to treat opioid addiction. Propoxyphene (Darvon), fentanyl (Druagesic), and hydromorphone (Dilaudid) are all incorrect because these drugs are opioids.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale 1: Excessive sweating, restlessness, dilated pupils, agitation, goose bumps, tremor, decreased heart rate and blood pressure, nausea and vomiting, and abdominal cramps are symptoms of opioid withdrawal.
Rationale 2: Tremors, fatigue, anxiety, abdominal cramping, hallucinations, confusion, seizures, and delirium are symptoms of alcohol withdrawal.
Rationale 3: Mental depression, anxiety, extreme fatigue, and hunger are symptoms of cocaine withdrawal.
Rationale 4: Rarely observed is incorrect because this is common with hallucinogens.

Global Rationale: Tremors, fatigue, anxiety, abdominal cramping, hallucinations, confusion, seizures, and delirium are symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. Excessive sweating, restlessness, dilated pupils, agitation, goose bumps, tremor, decreased heart rate and blood pressure, nausea and vomiting, and abdominal cramps are symptoms of opioid withdrawal. Mental depression, anxiety, extreme fatigue, and hunger are symptoms of cocaine withdrawal. The client will have symptoms of withdrawal because this is common with hallucinogens.
