A nurse is interviewing a client who reports a desire to quit smoking. Which of the following prescriptions should the nurse expect the provider to prescribe?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Bupropion. Bupropion is a medication commonly prescribed to help individuals quit smoking by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. It works by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain. Melatonin (A) is used for sleep, naloxone (C) for opioid overdose reversal, and alprazolam (D) for anxiety - not smoking cessation. Bupropion is the most appropriate choice for smoking cessation due to its specific mechanism of action.
