Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client that is newly diagnosed with seizures and is prescribed lamotrigine. Which of the following is a serious complication of this medication that requires hospitalization?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Stevens-Johnson syndrome. This is a serious and potentially life-threatening skin reaction associated with lamotrigine. It presents with blistering, peeling skin, and mucosal involvement, requiring immediate hospitalization for intensive care. The other choices are not directly associated with lamotrigine. Gingival hyperplasia is linked to medications like phenytoin, opioid use disorder is related to opioids, and hypotension may occur with various drugs but not specifically with lamotrigine.
