Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has developed gout. Which of the following medications should the nurse prepare to administer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Allopurinol. Allopurinol is used to treat gout by reducing the production of uric acid in the body. This medication helps prevent the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints, which cause pain and inflammation in gout. Alprazolam (
A), Spironolactone (
B), and Zolpidem (
C) are not indicated for gout treatment and would not address the underlying cause of the condition. Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine used for anxiety, Spironolactone is a diuretic used for conditions like heart failure and hypertension, and Zolpidem is a sedative-hypnotic used for insomnia. Administering these medications would not provide relief for the client's gout symptoms.
