Question 1 of 5
A patient in a rehabilitation center is beginning to experience opioid withdrawal symptoms. The nurse expects to administer which drug as part of the treatment?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Methadone. Methadone is commonly used in opioid withdrawal management due to its ability to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings without producing the euphoric effects of opioids. It helps stabilize patients and prevent relapse.
A: Bupropion is used for smoking cessation and depression, not opioid withdrawal.
C: Disulfiram is used for alcohol aversion therapy, not opioid withdrawal.
D: Phenobarbital is a barbiturate used for seizure control, not opioid withdrawal.
In summary, Methadone is the correct choice as it is specifically indicated for opioid withdrawal management, while the other options are used for different purposes.
