Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client who reports using cocaine several times in the past week. Which observations should the nurse expect on assessment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cocaine use typically results in stimulation of the central nervous system, leading to increased heart rate, dilated pupils, and heightened alertness. Bradycardia and bradypnea are not typical, as cocaine causes tachycardia and increased respiratory rate. Hallucinations and delusions are more associated with hallucinogens or psychotic disorders. Lethargy and depression occur during the 'crash' phase, not the immediate effects of cocaine use.
