    A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing alcohol withdrawal. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Fatigue and depression: These symptoms are associated with withdrawal from stimulants, not alcohol. B. Muscle aches and chills: These are not common symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. C. Anxiety and diaphoresis: Alcohol withdrawal is characterized by increased autonomic activity, including anxiety, sweating, tremors, and tachycardia. D. Arrhythmia and respiratory depression: While severe withdrawal can lead to seizures and arrhythmias, respiratory depression is not typical.
