Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient who has multiple sclerosis. The patient is experiencing an acute attack. Which drug does the nurse anticipate the provider will order?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Methylprednisolone (Solu-Medrol), because it is a corticosteroid that helps reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system, which can help alleviate the symptoms of an acute multiple sclerosis attack. Interferon-B (
A) and Glatiramer acetate (
C) are disease-modifying drugs used for long-term management, not acute attacks. Mitoxantrone (
B) is an immunosuppressant used for aggressive forms of multiple sclerosis. The other choices are not relevant for treating acute attacks in multiple sclerosis.
