A nurse in an emergency department is assessing an adolescent who reports inhalation of gasoline. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

A. Ataxia: Inhalation of gasoline, a hydrocarbon, can depress the central nervous system, leading to impaired coordination and unsteady movements. Ataxia is a common neurological manifestation in adolescents following inhalant exposure. B. Pinpoint pupils: Pinpoint pupils are typically associated with opioid intoxication, not hydrocarbon inhalation. Gasoline inhalation does not directly affect the pupil size. C. Hyperactive reflexes: Hydrocarbon inhalation usually depresses the central nervous system, which can lead to reduced reflexes rather than hyperactive reflexes. This finding is not expected in gasoline inhalation. D. Hypothermia: While severe systemic toxicity may affect body temperature, mild to moderate gasoline inhalation usually does not cause hypothermia. CNS depression is more prominent than thermoregulatory effects in these cases.
