Question 1 of 5

A nurse is evaluating the medication response of a client who takes naltrexone for the treatment of alcohol use disorder. The nurse should identify that which of the following is a therapeutic effect of this medication.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Reduces substance craving. Naltrexone is an opioid receptor antagonist that helps reduce the craving for alcohol by blocking the euphoric effects associated with alcohol consumption. This medication does not block aldehyde dehydrogenase (choice
A), which is involved in alcohol metabolism. It also does not prevent the anxiety of abstinence (choice
B) or decrease the likelihood of seizures (choice
D). Naltrexone specifically targets reducing the desire to drink, making choice C the most appropriate therapeutic effect in this scenario.
