A school nurse is planning a presentation about identifying potential warning signs of suicide for high school students. Which of the following examples of behaviors should the nurse include in the teaching?

A. "Check your oxygen equipment once each week.": Oxygen equipment should be checked daily for proper function and leaks, not just weekly.

B. "Use wool blankets on your bed.": Wool and synthetic fabrics generate static electricity, which can ignite oxygen. Cotton blankets should be used instead.

C. "Store unused oxygen tanks horizontally.": Oxygen tanks should always be stored upright and secured to prevent tipping over.

D. "Do not adjust the oxygen flow rate.": Clients should not change the oxygen flow rate unless instructed by the provider, as improper adjustments can cause oxygen toxicity or hypoxia.

A. Hypotension, urinary retention, and blurred vision: These symptoms are more characteristic of anticholinergic toxicity rather than serotonin syndrome.

B. Dizziness, lethargy, and headache: These symptoms are non-specific and do not define serotonin syndrome, which involves neuromuscular, autonomic, and mental status changes.

C. Hypomania, arrhythmias, and panic attacks:. While serotonin syndrome can cause agitation, it does not cause hypomania (a mild form of mania). Arrhythmias can occur but are not a hallmark symptom.

D. Confusion, restlessness, tachycardia, and diaphoresis: Serotonin syndrome is characterized by mental status changes (confusion, agitation), autonomic instability (tachycardia, hypertension, hyperthermia), and neuromuscular abnormalities (hyperreflexia, tremors, clonus).
