A nurse is providing information to a client about smoking cessation.
Which of the following medications should the nurse include?

Choice A rationale

Phenobarbital is not typically used for opioid use disorder; it is more commonly used for seizure disorders and as a sedative.

Choice B rationale

Diazepam is a benzodiazepine, used for anxiety and muscle spasms, but not for treating opioid use disorder.

Choice C rationale

Chlordiazepoxide is another benzodiazepine used for alcohol withdrawal, not opioid use disorder.

Choice D rationale

Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist used in medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, helping to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Choice A rationale

Splitting is a defense mechanism where a person sees things in black-and-white, without the capacity to recognize nuances or integrate good and bad qualities together.

Choice B rationale

Suppression is a conscious decision to delay dealing with stressors or emotions until a later time, as the client does by focusing on their son’s wedding before addressing their health.

Choice C rationale

Reaction formation involves behaving in a way that's opposite to one's true feelings, which does not align with the client's expressed actions.

Choice D rationale

Projection is attributing one's own thoughts, feelings, or impulses to another person, not evident in the client's behavior.
