A patient who has been drinking heavily for 3 years seeks medical care. What should the nurse realize about alcohol withdrawal syndrome when caring for this patient?
◦ Alcohol is a stimulant that increases gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
◦ The neuroreceptors in the brain can begin to initiate a chemical reaction of normalcy.
◦ The CNS has become accustomed to the depressant effects of the alcohol, and CNS excitability develops when alcohol is no longer present.
◦ The neurotransmitters inhibit impulses on the neurons.
