Answer to Question 1

B
The nurse should recognize that high blood pressure is a symptom of alcohol withdrawal and should promptly report this finding to the physician. Complications associated with alcohol withdrawal may progress to alcohol withdrawal delirium and possible seizure activity on about the second or third day following cessation of prolonged alcohol consumption.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback: Clients with delirium become overstimulated easily; their ability to process environmental stimuli is impaired.
