Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is withdrawing from heroin. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hyperthermia. Heroin withdrawal can lead to hyperthermia due to increased metabolic activity, dehydration, and dysregulation of the body's temperature control mechanisms. Slurred speech (
A) is not a typical manifestation of heroin withdrawal. Hypotension (
B) and bradycardia (
C) are more commonly associated with opioid overdose rather than withdrawal. In withdrawal, the client may actually experience hypertension and tachycardia due to increased sympathetic activity.
