Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is undergoing alcohol withdrawal and is receiving diazepam. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Initiate seizure precautions. Diazepam is a benzodiazepine commonly used to manage alcohol withdrawal symptoms, including seizures. Seizure precautions involve monitoring the client's environment for safety, such as padding the bed rails and ensuring a clear space around the client. This intervention is crucial as alcohol withdrawal can lead to life-threatening seizures. Administering the medication subcutaneously (
A) is not typically recommended for diazepam as it is usually given orally or intravenously. Administering the medication with an antacid (
C) is not necessary for diazepam. Initiating contact precautions (
D) is not relevant in this situation as alcohol withdrawal does not require isolation precautions.
