the following conditions?.

Correct Answer: B
A rationale: Opiate withdrawal is a condition that occurs when a person stops using
opiates after prolonged use. It is characterized by symptoms such as restlessness,

assessment is not typically used for this condition.
B rationale: Tardive dyskinesia is a movement disorder characterized by irregular,
involuntary movements most commonly in areas of the face, around the eyes, and of
the mouth, including the jaw, tongue, and lips. The AIMS assessment is a clinical
outcome checklist completed by a healthcare provider to assess the presence and
severity of abnormal movements of the face, limbs, and body in patients with tardive
dyskinesia.
C rationale: Alcohol withdrawal is a condition that can occur when a person who has
been drinking too much alcohol every day suddenly stops drinking alcohol. Symptoms
can include tremors, anxiety, nausea and vomiting, headaches, increased heart rate,
and seizures The AIMS assessment is not typically used for this condition
