Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing new prescriptions for a client who is experiencing acute manifestations of alcohol withdrawal. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect the provider to prescribe for this client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Chlordiazepoxide. This medication is a benzodiazepine commonly used to manage acute alcohol withdrawal symptoms by reducing anxiety, tremors, and seizures. Benzodiazepines help stabilize the client's central nervous system by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GAB
A), which inhibits excessive neuronal activity caused by alcohol withdrawal. Disulfiram (
A) is used to deter alcohol consumption by causing unpleasant side effects when alcohol is consumed. Buprenorphine (
C) is used for opioid dependence, not alcohol withdrawal. Bupropion (
D) is an antidepressant and smoking cessation aid, not indicated for alcohol withdrawal.
