ANSWERS VERIFIED 100% CORRECT!!
1. What are withdrawal symptoms, characterized by severe flu-like symptoms
(nausea, vomiting, runny nose, watery eyes, chills, abdominal cramps,
anorexia, weakness, tremors, sweating, etc.), MOST characteristic?
a. Opioid withdrawal
b. Hallucinogenic withdrawal
c. Barbiturate withdrawal
d. Benzodiazepine withdrawal Answer - A: Opioid withdrawal. Opioids (heroin,
morphine, codeine, etc.) and the semi-synthetic and synthetic derivatives have
a withdrawal syndrome generally characterized by nausea, vomiting, runny
nose, watery eyes, chills, abdominal cramps, anorexia, weakness, bone pains,
tremors, sweating, feelings of panic, and persistent yawning. More serious
symptoms such as convulsions and cardiovascular collapse are very rare.
Hallucinogenics and psychedelics typically do not have a withdrawal syndrome,
though flashbacks of past trips may well occur. Barbiturate withdrawal
symptoms include: insomnia, anxiety, delirium and tremors, and the possibility
of convulsions (seizures) and death. Benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms are
similar to those of barbiturate withdrawal but potentially at least somewhat
less severe.
2. Genetic factors make up roughly what proportion of the risk for addiction?
a. Less than one-tenth
b. One-quarter
c. One-half
d. Three-quarters Answer - C: One-half. Studies reveal that major factors in
drug abuse vulnerability include social, family, culture, and other factors.
, However, epidemiological studies reveal that genetic factors contribute as
much as half of an individual's risk for drug abuse. The role of genetics is
slightly higher for males than females, and the role of genetics in heroin abuse
exceeds that of any other drug. Further, the greater and more severe the
manifestation of drug abuse, the more predominant the role of genetics in the
predisposition for substance abuse. Theorists suggest a malfunction in
neurotransmitter production results in a potentially profound need to self-
medicate to compensate.
3. What is the adolescent tendency to impulsivity and risk taking due to
primarily?
a. Poor parenting
b. Prior abuse
c. Neurological immaturity
d. Influences of puberty Answer - C: Neurological immaturity. There are
numerous factors that contribute to the tendency of adolescents to
impulsiveness, unruly behavior, and risk taking. These include limited life
experience, high energy, a concomitant desire for external stimuli and
engagement, a predisposition toward peer influences, and so on. Of primary
influence, however, is the issue of neurological immaturity. Key portions of the
brain that manage judgment and emotional control are among the last to
mature. The prefrontal cortex, where impulse control, reasoning, and foresight
are managed, does not mature until early adulthood. Further, the adolescent
brain appears to be more receptive to the effects of substances of abuse as
well as more vulnerable to subsequent physiological consequences.
4. What are depressant drugs (e.g., alcohol, opiates, barbiturates, and
benzodiazepines) typically used to cope with?
a. Excitement
b. Fatigue
c. Stress
