Drug addiction occurs when emotional and mental dependence on a drug are present. Although physical

potentially lethal dose. The nurse recognizes this as alcohol a. addiction.
b. dependence.
c. misuse.
d. tolerance.
ANS: D
Intoxication is a state of being influenced by a drug or other substance and may be a very small amount in the
drug-nave person or a potentially lethal amount in the chronic user. This person has developed tolerance to
alcohol and is able to have a potentially lethal amount without severe effects. Addiction describes a state of
emotional, mental, and physical dependence on a drug. Dependence describes physical need for the drug such that
when the drug is stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur. Misuse refers to using a drug or substance to excess.

a. Addiction
b. Craving
c. Drug tolerance

Patients who develop a physical dependence on a drug will experience withdrawal syndrome when the drug is
stopped. Addiction and cravings can occur without physical dependence. Tolerance refers to a decrease in drug
effects with repeated use.

a. Bupropion (Zyban) is effective and does not have serious adverse effects.
b. Nicotine replacement therapies are effective and eliminate the need for behavioral therapy.
c. Varenicline (Chantix) may be used short-term for 1 to 2 months.
d. You may experience headaches and increased appetite for several months after stopping smoking.
ANS: D
Headaches and increased appetite are common during nicotine withdrawal and may last for several months.
