A nurse in an emergency department is assessing an adolescent who reports inhalation of gasoline. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

The correct answer is A: Ataxia. Inhalation of gasoline can lead to central nervous system depression, causing symptoms such as ataxia (loss of coordination). Gasoline does not typically cause hypothermia, hyperactive reflexes, or pinpoint pupils. Ataxia is a common finding in cases of gasoline inhalation due to its effects on the brain and nervous system. Other symptoms may include dizziness, headache, confusion, and respiratory distress. Therefore, the nurse should expect to observe ataxia in an adolescent who reports inhalation of gasoline.
