Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has been brought into an emergency department of a large hospital. The client's family state that the client 'took some kind of drugs.' The client is dizzy, has recently vomited, and is experiencing paranoia, yelling, 'Stay away from me! You are going to kill me!' The client alternates yelling with mumbling and gesturing. Their eyes are darting back and forth as they are talking to the wall. The nurse should suspect the client has used which of the following substances?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hallucinogens. The client's symptoms align with the effects of hallucinogens, such as distorted perceptions, paranoia, hallucinations, and disorganized behavior. Symptoms like dizziness, vomiting, paranoia, and hallucinations are not typically associated with anabolic steroids (
A), opioids (
B), or stimulants (
C). Hallucinogens alter perception, mood, and cognitive processes, leading to symptoms like those exhibited by the client. It is important for the nurse to consider hallucinogen use due to the client's presentation.
