Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who has a history of substance use disorder and states, 'People are out to get me.' The client has tachycardia and hypertension. The nurse should suspect acute toxicity of which of the following substances?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Cocaine. The client's symptoms of paranoia, tachycardia, and hypertension are indicative of acute toxicity from cocaine.
