kolezko [41]

The finding that suggests that the client's catheter is occluded is that the client reports bladder spasms and the urge to urinate.

The client in question has a catheter. This means that the client should not have issues urinating through this tube. The spasms indicate the bladder continuously attempting to void its contents, this together with the irritation and urge to urinate indicates that the tube may very well be occluded and thus not allowing the flow of urine.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

CNS depressants slow down the operations of the brain and the body. Examples of CNS depressants include alcohol, barbiturates, anti-anxiety tranquilizers (e.g., Valium, Librium, Xanax, Prozac, and Thorazine), GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate), Rohypnol, and many other anti-depressants (e.g., Zoloft, Paxil).

Hallucinogens cause the user to perceive things differently than they actually are. Examples include LSD, peyote, psilocybin and MDMA (Ecstasy).

Dissociative anesthetics include drugs that inhibit pain by cutting off or dissociating the brain's perception of the pain. PCP, its analogs, and dextromethoraphan are examples of dissociative anesthetics.

(5) Narcotic Analgesics
