Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Narcotics typically cause constriction of the pupils, so finding constricted pupils would reinforce that the patient took a narcotic. Bloodshot eyes and nonreactive, unequal pupils are not specific to narcotics. Pupils that constrict to light may be a sign of normal pupil function, but it does not specifically indicate narcotic use.
