Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly-admitted client about the possible physical effects of alcohol withdrawal. Which of the following manifestation should the nurse include in the teaching? (Select all that apply.)
Correct Answer: B,D,E
Rationale: The correct manifestations to include in teaching about alcohol withdrawal are illusions, tremors, and seizures. Illusions are common in alcohol withdrawal due to disturbances in perception. Tremors are a hallmark sign of alcohol withdrawal syndrome, indicating central nervous system hyperexcitability. Seizures can occur in severe cases of withdrawal due to the abrupt cessation of alcohol intake, leading to neuronal hyperexcitability. Nystagmus and polyphagia are not typically associated with alcohol withdrawal. Nystagmus is more commonly seen in neurological conditions, and polyphagia refers to excessive hunger, which is not a typical manifestation of alcohol withdrawal.
