Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who reports using cocaine 1 hour ago. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Fever. Cocaine is a stimulant that can lead to increased body temperature, resulting in fever. The sympathetic nervous system is activated by cocaine, causing elevation in heart rate and blood pressure. Polyphagia (excessive hunger), bradycardia (slow heart rate), and oliguria (decreased urine output) are not typically associated with recent cocaine use. In summary, fever is the expected finding due to the stimulant effects of cocaine on the body, while the other choices are not consistent with the physiological effects of cocaine.
