Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The nurse anticipates the provider might prescribe which of the following medications?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Paroxetine. Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) commonly prescribed for PTSD as it helps alleviate symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and intrusive thoughts. It is a first-line treatment for PTSD due to its effectiveness in managing the disorder's symptoms. Semaglutide is used for type 2 diabetes, Tramadol is a pain medication, and Zaleplon is a sleep aid. These medications are not indicated for PTSD and would not address the client's specific needs.
