A client is brought to the emergency department in the midst of acute alcohol withdrawal accompanied by seizure activity. What drug is most likely to meet this client's needs?

A. The patient’s statement about the peak of NPH insulin being 6-12 hours is correct; it is important to know when to monitor for hypoglycemia.

B. Taking NPH before breakfast is appropriate, as it is typically given in the morning to provide coverage for meals throughout the day.

C. The duration of NPH insulin lasting for 12-18 hours is accurate, which is crucial for understanding how long the patient can expect blood glucose control.

D. NPH insulin should not be taken right before meals as it does not act quickly enough to cover immediate carbohydrate intake. Rapid-acting insulin is typically used for that purpose, indicating a need for further teaching.

A. Improved sleep is correct; an effective antidepressant can help normalize sleep patterns, which is a positive indicator of treatment efficacy.

B. Decreased anxiety is correct; fluoxetine is also effective in treating anxiety symptoms, so a reduction indicates the medication is working.

C. Reduced appetite is incorrect; while some individuals may experience appetite changes, a reduced appetite is not an indicator of effectiveness and could indicate a side effect.

D. Weight loss is incorrect; while weight loss can occur, it is not a definitive measure of the effectiveness of fluoxetine and can also signify side effects.

E. Interest in physical activity is correct; an increase in motivation and engagement in activities is a strong indicator of improvement in depressive symptoms.
