Global Rationale: Rotating, shifts, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping are all documented reasons why some healthcare providers struggle with alcohol or drug addiction. An increased demand for health care providers and increased tension related to the job are also reasons why some healthcare providers struggle from alcohol or drug addiction.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Rationale 1: Alcohol is incorrect because opioids, alcohol, and CNS depressants all depress the CNS. Symptoms would include decreased blood pressure, decreased respiration rate, and constricted pupils.
Rationale 2: CNS stimulants increase activity of the CNS. Symptoms include increased blood pressure, increased respiration rate, dilated pupils, sweating, and tremors.
Rationale 3: CNS depressant is incorrect because opioids, alcohol, and CNS depressants all depress the CNS. Symptoms would include decreased blood pressure, decreased respiration rate, and constricted pupils.
Rationale 4: Opioid is incorrect because opioids, alcohol, and CNS depressants all depress the CNS. Symptoms would include decreased blood pressure, decreased respiration rate, and constricted pupils.
