Question 5 of 5
A 35-year-old woman is brought to the emergency department because of an 18-hour history of severe pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and anxiety. She was discharged with a pain medication from the hospital 2 weeks ago after treatment of multiple injuries sustained in a motor vehicle collision. She took her last dose 36 hours ago. Her temperature is 36.6°C (97.8°F), pulse is 105/min, respirations are 24/min, and blood pressure is 160/85 mm Hg. Physical examination shows rhinorrhea and piloerection. Bowel sounds are normal. She rates the pain as an 8 on a 10-point scale. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Symptoms (pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety, tachycardia, hypertension, rhinorrhea, piloerection) 36 hours after stopping pain medication suggest opioid withdrawal, likely oxycodone (F) from her recent hospitalization. Appendicitis causes localized pain and fever, caffeine withdrawal headaches, ethanol withdrawal tremors and seizures, gastric ulcers epigastric pain, and gastroenteritis (E) fever and infection signs—none match this autonomic and piloerection profile.
