Answer to Question 1

A
The classic signs of opiate withdrawal are flulike symptoms and dilated pupils.

Answer to Question 2

D
Textbooks become outdated, as do nursing journal articles. The DSM-IV-TR is also like a textbook and is updated only periodically. The only correct answer is to find current relevant information by using electronic databases, which is the most current method for research indicated.
