An adult in the emergency department states, 'I feel restless. Everything I look at wavers. Sometimes I’m outside my body looking at myself. I hear colors. I think I’m losing my mind.' Vital signs are slightly elevated. The nurse should suspect a(n):
- A. schizophrenic episode
- B. cocaine overdose
- C. phencyclidine (PCP) intoxication
- D. D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) ingestion
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, D-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) ingestion. LSD causes visual disturbances, dissociation, heightened sensory perceptions, and altered sense of reality, matching the client's symptoms.

Cocaine overdose (B) would present with more severe vital sign changes. PCP intoxication (C) typically causes aggression and hallucinations, not the described symptoms.
