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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
