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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Mebendazole (Vermox). Mebendazole is an anthelmintic medication commonly used to treat pinworm infections. It works by preventing the worms from absorbing sugars necessary for their survival, ultimately killing them. Zidovudine (
A) is an antiretroviral medication used to treat HIV, not pinworms. Lanoxin (
B) is a cardiac medication used for heart conditions, not parasitic infections. Ciprofloxacin (
D) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, not parasitic infections.
Therefore, Mebendazole is the appropriate choice for treating pinworms due to its mechanism of action against the parasites.
