Question 1 of 5

A client has been given the diagnosis of bulimia. An appropriate medication used in the treatment of bulimia is which of the following?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: CNS stimulants are not typically used in the treatment of bulimia. They may increase anxiety and have abuse potential, which could exacerbate symptoms. While some anxiolytics may be prescribed for comorbid anxiety disorders often seen with bulimia nervosa, they are not the primary treatment for bulimia itself. Antidepressants, specifically selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), are commonly used in the treatment of bulimia nervosa. SSRIs such as fluoxetine (Prozac), sertraline (Zoloft), and others are FDA-approved for the treatment of bulimia nervosa due to their effectiveness in reducing binge eating episodes and helping to control the symptoms associated with the disorder.
