Practice Question
A nurse is providing information to a client about smoking cessation. Which of the following medications should the nurse include?.
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Bupropion.
Rationale:
🚭 Bupropion is an atypical antidepressant approved for smoking cessation under the brand name Zyban.
🚭 It works by inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine, reducing nicotine cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
🚭 Unlike nicotine replacement therapies, bupropion is non-nicotine based and can also help manage depressive symptoms that may arise during smoking cessation.
🚭 Other listed medications (aripiprazole, quetiapine, risperidone) are antipsychotics and are not indicated for smoking cessation.
