A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing status epilepticus. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect to administer?

A. Clonazepam: Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine used for chronic seizure management rather than acute seizure emergencies. It is not the first-line medication for rapidly terminating ongoing seizure activity in status epilepticus. B. Lorazepam: Lorazepam is the first-line medication for status epilepticus due to its rapid onset and longer duration of action in the CNS. It effectively suppresses continuous seizure activity and is preferred in acute management settings. C. Carbamazepine: Carbamazepine is used for long-term control of partial and generalized tonic-clonic seizures. It has a delayed onset and is not appropriate for immediate seizure termination. D. Lamotrigine: Lamotrigine is a maintenance antiepileptic medication used for seizure prevention. It does not act quickly enough to manage active, prolonged seizures such as status epilepticus.
