    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Coma is typically a symptom of opioid overdose, not abstinence syndrome. B. Pinpoint pupils are commonly associated with opioid toxicity, not abstinence syndrome. C. Fever is a sign of abstinence syndrome, which can occur after opioid withdrawal. D. Vomiting is also a symptom of abstinence syndrome, which is a withdrawal reaction that can occur when naloxone reverses opioid effects.
