Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is at risk for alcohol withdrawal delirium. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect the provider to prescribe?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Chlordiazepoxide. This medication is a benzodiazepine used to manage symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, including delirium. It acts on the GABA receptors in the brain to reduce excitability and prevent withdrawal symptoms. Naloxone (
A) is used for opioid overdose reversal, not alcohol withdrawal. Bupropion (
B) is an antidepressant and does not treat alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Methadone (
C) is used for opioid dependence treatment, not alcohol withdrawal delirium.
Therefore, Chlordiazepoxide is the appropriate choice for managing alcohol withdrawal delirium.
