Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. delirium tremens (tremors)
Delirium tremens (DTs) is a severe and potentially life-threatening form of alcohol withdrawal marked by hallucinations, confusion, agitation, and autonomic instability.

B. regression
Regression is a defense mechanism where the person reverts to earlier behaviors, not a withdrawal syndrome.

C. dependence
Dependence refers to the ongoing need for alcohol, not the withdrawal symptoms when use stops.

D. cross-tolerance
Cross-tolerance refers to the body's reduced response to one drug due to tolerance of another, not withdrawal.

A. "This medication will cure alcohol use disorder." B. "Avoid alcohol for 2 weeks after discontinuing the medication.” C. "You can safely use topical products that contain alcohol, such as cologne." D. "You should avoid eating undercooked meats while taking this medication.”

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. "This medication will cure alcohol use disorder.”
Disulfiram does not cure alcohol use disorder. It is a deterrent that causes unpleasant effects when alcohol is consumed, supporting abstinence.

B. "Avoid alcohol for 2 weeks after discontinuing the medication.”
Disulfiram inhibits aldehyde dehydrogenase. Its effects persist for up to 2 weeks after stopping, so alcohol must be avoided during this time.

C. "You can safely use topical products that contain alcohol, such as cologne."
False. Even topical alcohol-containing products (cologne, aftershave, hand sanitizers) can trigger a disulfiram reaction.

D. "You should avoid eating undercooked meats while taking this medication."
There is no known interaction between disulfiram and undercooked meat.
