Hello Skang, thank you for asking a question here on Brainly!
You Asked ➤ A patient is diagnosed with bipolar disorder and is currently taking carbamazepine aripiprazole, and melatonin. The PMHNP has just written an order to discontinue the carbamazepine for drug-induced thrombocytopenia. What is the next best action to take?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer ➤ Request a new order for a different mood stabilizer
Explanation: Carbamazepine aripiprazole can be used to treat bipolar disorder, but since it is being discontinued, a new order will need to be made to find a different mood stabilizer that will help the patient. Different mood stabilizers for bipolar disorder may include Lamotrigine, Divalproex sodium, or Lithium.
