Your new patient is going through alcohol withdrawal. Which symptoms would indicate to the counselor that the patient is having delirium tremors?
Answer: C - Hypertension, change in the level of consciousness, and hallucinations are symptoms that would indicate the patient is in delirium tremors. The counselor might also see anxiety, insomnia, anorexia, disorientation, agitation, fever, and delusions. Therapeutic treatment will likely not be effective at this time - the focus should be on harm reduction and ensuring proper medical attention.
