Question 1 of 5

Following involvement in a motor vehicle collision, a middle-aged adult client is admitted to the hospital with multiple facial fractures. The client's blood alcohol level is high on admission. Which PRN prescription should be administered if the client begins to exhibit signs and symptoms of delirium tremens (DTs)?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine used to manage delirium tremens (DTs), a severe form of alcohol withdrawal, by reducing agitation and preventing seizures. Prochlorperazine and chlorpromazine are antipsychotics, not first-line for DTs. Hydromorphone is an opioid and inappropriate for DTs management.
