Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has alcohol use disorder and is experiencing withdrawal. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following manifestations?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Hyperthermia. During alcohol withdrawal, the client may experience autonomic hyperactivity, leading to increased body temperature. This is due to the overstimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. Monitoring for hyperthermia is crucial as it can lead to serious complications such as seizures or delirium tremens.

Incorrect

Choices:
A: Decreased blood pressure is not a common manifestation of alcohol withdrawal. Clients with alcohol withdrawal typically have elevated blood pressure due to increased sympathetic activity.
B: Decreased heart rate is not a typical finding during alcohol withdrawal. Clients may have tachycardia due to autonomic hyperactivity.
D: Hyperglycemia is not a primary concern during alcohol withdrawal. Clients are more likely to experience hypoglycemia due to poor nutrition and liver dysfunction.
