Points & Pearls Excerpt

  • Assess all intoxicated adolescents for injuries, as the patient may not be able to communicate these reliably.
  • Adolescents can use illicit substances to self-harm, and drug use in self-harm attempts should be considered.
  • Consult with a local Poison Control Center early to help target interventions. Local Poison Control Centers and toxicologists can aid in the identification of substances used and can help with management.
  • Drug use and overdose can present with a variety of substance-specific signs and symptoms. (See Appendix 1.)
