Question 1 of 5

A nurse in an emergency department is assessing a client for suspected cocaine intoxication. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: B

A) is not a common finding in cocaine intoxication. Hypersomnia (choice
C) is unlikely as cocaine is a stimulant that often leads to decreased need for sleep. Depression (choice
