Question 1 of 5

A patient has been taking phenobarbital for 2 weeks as part of his therapy for epilepsy. He tells the nurse that he feels tense and that the least little thing bothers him now. Which is the correct explanation for this problem?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. Phenobarbital is known to cause deprivation of REM sleep, leading to an inability to cope with normal stress. This can manifest as increased tension and irritability in the patient. This explanation aligns with the patient's reported symptoms of feeling tense and easily bothered. Options A, B, and D are incorrect. Adverse effects of phenobarbital typically subside with continued use, so stopping the drug immediately is not warranted. The drug does not cause an increase in REM sleep or result in nightmares, as suggested in options D. The correct explanation lies in the drug's impact on REM sleep and its association with increased stress sensitivity.
