Which sign is commonly present in a subject under the influence of inhalants?

The presence of Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) is a significant indicator when assessing a subject under the influence of inhalants. HGN is an involuntary eye movement that can be observed when the eyes are moved side to side. It typically indicates that the central nervous system is affected by certain substances. Inhalants can depress the central nervous system, leading to impairment of motor functions and coordination, which is reflected in the appearance of HGN.

Inhalants can cause various physiological effects, and an important aspect of identifying influence by these substances is recognizing symptoms such as HGN. This makes it a crucial sign for Drug Recognition Experts (DREs) during evaluations, providing insight into the level of impairment and potential altering of normal eye function due to substance abuse.

The other choices do not align with the typical symptomatology associated with inhalant use.例えば, bradycardia, or slowed heart rate, may not be frequently observed with inhalant use, as these substances can also sometimes lead to tachycardia. Normal pupil size is contrary to what is generally expected, as inhalants notoriously cause pupil dilation rather than maintaining a normal size. Constricted pupils are more commonly associated with opioids, not inhalants.
