Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving treatment for alcohol detoxification. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect to administer during this phase of the client's care?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Diazepam belongs to the benzodiazepine class of medications and is commonly used during alcohol detoxification. Benzodiazepines help manage symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, including anxiety, tremors, agitation, and seizures. They work by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GAB
A), an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. Buprenorphine is used for opioid dependence, Varenicline for smoking cessation, and Rimonabant, withdrawn from the market, was for weight loss, none of which are appropriate for alcohol detox.
