Question 1 of 5
An individual is seeking treatment for bulimia nervosa. The therapist decides to use cognitive behavioral therapy and medication. For what medication can a nurse expect to develop a patient education program?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: A selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). SSRIs are commonly used in treating bulimia nervosa due to their effectiveness in reducing binge eating and purging behaviors. They work by increasing serotonin levels in the brain, which helps regulate mood and appetite control. A nurse would develop a patient education program for SSRIs to explain their mechanism of action, potential side effects, how to take them correctly, and the importance of compliance. Summary: - Lithium is not typically used for bulimia nervosa and is more commonly used for bipolar disorder. - Acamprosate is used for alcohol dependence, not bulimia nervosa. - Benzodiazepines are not indicated for bulimia nervosa and are typically used for anxiety disorders or insomnia.
