Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Donepezil is a cholinesterase inhibitor that is commonly prescribed for individuals with Alzheimer's disease. It helps increase the levels of acetylcholine in the brain, which can temporarily improve cognitive function and slow the progression of cognitive decline in some individuals with Alzheimer's disease.

Choice B rationale: Chlordiazepoxide is a benzodiazepine medication used to treat anxiety and alcohol withdrawal symptoms. It is not indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and is not recommended due to its potential to cause sedation and cognitive impairment.

Choice C rationale: Naltrexone is an opioid receptor antagonist primarily used to treat opioid and alcohol dependence. It is not indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Choice D rationale: Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist used to treat opioid dependence and moderate to severe pain. It is not indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

A. "I can pour warm water over the lesions to decrease painful urination." B. "I am not contagious when I don't have lesions." C. "I will finish my antibiotics so that my infection will not return." D. "I can soak in a bubble bath to reduce discomfort."

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Warm water can help soothe the lesions and decrease painful urination, providing relief to the client.

Choice B rationale:

The client with genital herpes can still shed the virus and potentially transmit it to others even when there are no visible lesions, so this statement is incorrect.

Choice C rationale:

Genital herpes is a viral infection, and antibiotics are not effective in treating viral infections. Antiviral medications are used to manage genital herpes outbreaks.

Choice D rationale:

Soaking in a bubble bath can potentially irritate the lesions and worsen discomfort. It is not recommended for individuals with genital herpes.
