Question 1 of 5
A client presents to the clinic with intense itching at night and is diagnosed with pinworms. The nurse anticipates the client would be placed on which medication to treat this condition?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: mebendazole (Vermox). Mebendazole is an anthelmintic medication commonly used to treat parasitic infections like pinworms. It works by disrupting the parasites' ability to absorb glucose, leading to their eventual death. Ciprofloxacin (
A) is an antibiotic used for bacterial infections, not parasites. Zidovudine (
B) is an antiretroviral medication used in HIV treatment. Ketoconazole (
C) is an antifungal drug used to treat fungal infections, not pinworms.
Therefore, mebendazole is the appropriate choice for treating pinworms due to its anthelmintic properties.
