A nurse is collecting data from a client who has alcohol use disorder and is experiencing withdrawal. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse expect?

Rationale: A. Polyuria: Polyuria is not a typical symptom of alcohol withdrawal. Although chronic alcohol use may affect renal function, withdrawal is more commonly associated with symptoms of autonomic hyperactivity rather than increased urine output. B. Hypertension: Hypertension is a common manifestation of alcohol withdrawal due to autonomic nervous system overactivity. As the central nervous system adapts to the absence of alcohol, clients may experience elevated blood pressure, tremors, and agitation. C. Constipation: Constipation is not expected during alcohol withdrawal. Clients are more likely to experience diarrhea or gastrointestinal upset due to nervous system stimulation and stress responses. D. Bradycardia: Bradycardia is not characteristic of alcohol withdrawal. Instead, clients often present with tachycardia and other signs of heightened sympathetic activity due to the sudden absence of CNS depressant effects.
