    A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving treatment for chronic alcohol use disorder. Which of the following medications should the nurse plan to administer to assist the client in maintaining abstinence by aversion therapy?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Carbamazepine: Used for seizure management, not for maintaining abstinence. B. Disulfiram: Creates an aversive reaction (e.g., nausea, vomiting) when alcohol is consumed, promoting abstinence. C. Atenolol: A beta-blocker, not used in aversion therapy. D. Lorazepam: Used to manage withdrawal symptoms, not for abstinence maintenance.
