22. A 24-year-old man is brought to the emergency department by police 1 hour after his ex-wife
found him stumbling around in the yard. His blood pressure is 100/70 mm Hg, pulse is 90/min, and
respirations are 16/min. The pupils are equal and reactive to light; the sclerae are injected. During
the examination, he laughs without obvious reason, makes religious statements, and asks if there is
anything to eat or drink. Mental status examination shows a broad range of affect; there is no
evidence of thought disorder except for mild paranoia. Which of the following is the most
appropriate next step in management?
A
) Observation in the emergency department
B
) Intramuscular administration of naloxone
C
) Intravenous administration of 50% dextrose
D
) Intravenous administration of lorazepam
E
) Oral administration of chlorpromazine





What is this?I cant even figure the diagnosis?
