a college student is brought to the urgent care by a roommate who is concerned about symptoms of extreme restlessness, nausea, and vomiting. the np notes elevations of the pulse and blood pressure and pupillary dilation, along with hyperactive bowel sounds. the np suspects withdrawal from which substance?
alcohol
cocaine
lsd
opioids

Explanation:

Alcohol withdrawal typically presents with tremors, anxiety, seizures (in severe cases), and autonomic hyperactivity (like elevated pulse and blood pressure). Cocaine withdrawal is more associated with depression, fatigue, and hypersomnia. LSD is a hallucinogen, and its withdrawal doesn't match these symptoms. Opioid withdrawal shows symptoms such as restlessness, nausea, vomiting, pupillary dilation, and hyperactive bowel sounds, which align with the described symptoms.

Answer:

Opioids
