A patient involved in a minor accident reports having used "crank" an hour ago. The patient denies having used the drug before. What manifestations can the nurse anticipate occurring with this patient?
1. reports feelings of insomnia and confusion
2. shows increased strength and cognition
3. displays paranoia
4. exhibits hallucinations
Correct Answer: 1
Crank is a form of methamphetamine. It will cause the patient to have insomnia and feel confusion. The patient will not show increased strength and cognition. Paranoia and hallucinations might be seen in an individual who has been using crank for a long period of time but not by someone who has used it once.
