Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the list of current medications for a client who is to start a new prescription for carbamazepine. The nurse should identify which of the following medications interacts with carbamazepine?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Estrogen-progestin combination. Carbamazepine can induce the metabolism of estrogen-progestin combinations, leading to decreased effectiveness and potential breakthrough bleeding. This interaction is due to carbamazepine's ability to increase the metabolism of estrogen, reducing its plasma concentration. Beclomethasone (
A) is a corticosteroid, diphenhydramine (
C) is an antihistamine, and nicotine transdermal system (
D) is used for smoking cessation. None of these medications have a significant interaction with carbamazepine.
