    A nurse is discussing the possible physical effects of alcohol withdrawal with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following effects should the nurse include? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Polyphagia: This is not associated with alcohol withdrawal; appetite changes are not characteristic symptoms. B. Illusions: Visual or auditory illusions are common during alcohol withdrawal and are due to central nervous system hyperactivity. C. Seizures: Alcohol withdrawal seizures, especially tonic-clonic seizures, can occur within 12–48 hours after cessation. D. Nystagmus: Nystagmus is more often associated with intoxication rather than withdrawal. E. Tremors: Tremors (shaking or tremulousness) are hallmark signs of alcohol withdrawal and often appear within hours of cessation.
