OSH Security Practice Test

Which of the following are possible indicators of a person intoxicated by drugs?

1. Signs of nervousness, body twitching and sweating

2. A limp right arm

3. Speaking in a high pitched and loud voice

4. Increased abilities to reason and think rapidly

The correct answer is: Signs of nervousness, body twitching and sweating

The correct choice highlights several common signs of drug intoxication. Nervousness, body twitching, and sweating can indicate a range of drug influences, particularly stimulants or hallucinogens that may heighten anxiety levels and lead to physical manifestations like twitching. Sweating can also be a response to certain substances as the body attempts to regulate itself. Together, these signs often suggest that an individual may be under the influence of drugs. In contrast, a limp right arm typically does not correlate with drug intoxication and may suggest other medical conditions unrelated to substance use. Speaking in a high-pitched and loud voice may sometimes be associated with excitement or agitation but isn't a specific indicator of drug use and can vary by individual personality traits. Finally, increased abilities to reason and think rapidly would be contrary to typical effects of drug intoxication, as most substances impair cognitive functions rather than enhance them.
