Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning to administer medications to a client who has trigeminal neuralgia. Which of the following medications should the nurse plan to administer to manage the client's pain?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Carbamazepine. Carbamazepine is a first-line medication used to treat trigeminal neuralgia by reducing nerve impulses that cause pain. It is an anticonvulsant that helps relieve the sharp, shooting pain associated with this condition. Lorazepam (
A) is a benzodiazepine used for anxiety and not typically indicated for trigeminal neuralgia. Fluoxetine (
B) is an antidepressant that is not effective for managing the severe pain of trigeminal neuralgia. Methylphenidate (
D) is a stimulant used for ADHD and would not be appropriate for treating trigeminal neuralgia.
