Question 1 of 5
Which of these is not a symptom of Serotonin Syndrome?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Serotonin syndrome, caused by an excess of serotonin, typically presents with symptoms such as altered mental status (confusion), neuromuscular abnormalities (tremors), and autonomic dysfunction (fever). Edema, which refers to swelling caused by fluid retention in the body tissues, is not a common symptom associated with serotonin syndrome.
Therefore, the correct answer is 'edema.'
Choice A, 'edema,' is the correct answer as it is not typically seen in serotonin syndrome.
Choice B, 'fever,' is a symptom of serotonin syndrome, as it can cause autonomic dysfunction.
Choice C, 'confusion,' is a common symptom due to altered mental status in serotonin syndrome.
Choice D, 'tremors,' is also a common symptom due to neuromuscular abnormalities in serotonin syndrome.
