Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assisting in the development of a community education course about the physical complications related to substance use disorder. Which of the following complications should the nurse include in the discussion about heroin use?

A. Dental caries B. Perforation of nasal septum C. Permanent effects on short-term memory loss D. Pancreatitis

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Dental caries is not a specific complication commonly associated with heroin use. Dental issues may result from other substances or lifestyle factors. Perforation of the nasal septum is a complication associated with the intranasal use of heroin. Chronic snorting or sniffing of heroin can damage the nasal septum, leading to a perforation. Permanent effects on short-term memory loss are more commonly associated with the use of substances like cannabis or certain hallucinogens. Heroin use is not typically linked to permanent effects on short-term memory. Pancreatitis is not a commonly reported complication of heroin use. Pancreatitis is more commonly associated with alcohol use disorder and gallstone-related issues.
