An adolescent who reports inhalation of gasoline
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in an emergency department is assessing an adolescent who reports inhalation of gasoline. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ataxia. Inhalation of gasoline can lead to central nervous system depression, causing symptoms such as ataxia, which is a lack of muscle coordination and control. Pinpoint pupils (choice
A) are associated with opioid overdose, not gasoline inhalation. Hypothermia (choice
B) is not a common finding with gasoline inhalation. Hyperactive reflexes (choice
D) are more indicative of stimulant use, not gasoline inhalation.
Therefore, the nurse should expect ataxia as a key finding in this scenario.
