Which symptom is a sign of physiological adaptation to opioids?

  1. Confusion

  2. Shakiness

  3. Increased BP

  4. Photosensitivity

The correct answer is: Shakiness

Shakiness is a common symptom of physiological adaptation to opioids, as the body tries to adjust to the drug's effects. Confusion is not necessarily a sign of adaptation, as it can be a side effect of opioid use. Increased blood pressure (BP) is also not a sign of adaptation, but rather a potential side effect of opioids. Photosensitivity, or increased sensitivity to light, is not typically associated with physiological adaptation to opioids. Therefore, the best answer is B Shakiness.
