Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing medications for a newly admitted client who has bipolar disorder and is experiencing mania. Which of the following client prescriptions should the nurse realize is expected to reduce the client's mania?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Carbamazepine. Carbamazepine is an anticonvulsant medication commonly used to treat manic episodes in bipolar disorder. It helps stabilize mood by regulating neurotransmitter levels in the brain. Fluvastatin is a statin used to lower cholesterol and is not indicated for mood disorders. Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine used for anxiety, not mania. Propranolol is a beta-blocker used for anxiety and high blood pressure, not mania.
Therefore, the nurse should realize that Carbamazepine is expected to reduce the client's mania by stabilizing mood.
