a nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing opiate withdrawal. which findings should the nurse expect to observe?
○ goose flesh and diarrhea
○ constipation and pupil constriction
○ respiratory depression and excessive drowsiness
○ decreased heart rate and blood pressure

Explanation:

Opiate withdrawal is associated with sympathetic nervous system activation and gastrointestinal hyperactivity. Goose flesh (piloerection) is a sympathetic response, and diarrhea reflects increased GI motility—both classic withdrawal signs. The other options describe opiate intoxication effects (constipation, pupil constriction, respiratory depression, drowsiness, decreased heart rate/BP).

Answer:

goose flesh and diarrhea
