The nurse caring for a 46-year-old male who has been drinking heavily for 3 years is aware of the potential for alcohol withdrawal syndrome based on the knowledge that physiologically:
1. Alcohol is a stimulant that increases gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
2. The neurotransmitters inhibit impulses on the neurons.
3. The CNS has become accustomed to the depressant effects of the alcohol and CNS excitability develops when alcohol is no longer present.
4. The neuroreceptors in the brain can begin to initiate a chemical reaction of normalcy.
