Question: 1 / 400

Which medication should a nurse prepare to administer for a client withdrawing from opioids?

Naltrexone

Methadone

Naltrexone is used to help prevent relapse for individuals who have already detoxed from opioids and are in recovery. Methadone and buprenorphine are both used in medication-assisted treatment programs to help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings for those who are actively using opioids. Diazepam is not typically used to specifically treat opioid withdrawal symptoms, but may be used to manage symptoms such as anxiety and muscle spasms that can occur during the withdrawal process. Therefore, option B, methadone, is the best option for a nurse to prepare for a client withdrawing from opioids. Options A, C, and D may be used in certain situations, but are not the primary medication used for opioid withdrawal.
