单选题 A 38-year-old client is admitted for alcohol withdrawal. The most common early sign or symptom that this client is likely to experience is
A. impending coma.
B. manipulating behavior.
C. suppression.
D. perceptual disorders.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】Perceptual disorders, especially frightening visual hallucinations, are very common with alcohol withdrawal. Coma isn't an immediate consequence. Manipulative behaviors are part of the alcoholic client's personality but not a sign of alcohol withdrawal. Suppression is a conscious effort to conceal unacceptable thoughts, feelings, impulses, or acts and serves as a coping mechanism for most alcoholics.
