What recommendation should the nurse provide to a client diagnosed with narcolepsy who is
reluctant to rely on medication therapy?​

Respuesta :

Stimulants

Anticonvulsants

Explanation:

In narcolepsy the client falls asleep uncontrollably at inappropriate times. These are called sleep attacks. Therefore, stimulants should be included in the client's treatment plan to help improve alertness. Stimulants increase wakefulness and reduce sleep attacks. Hypnotics, anticonvulsants, and benzodiazepines increase drowsiness and sleeping time. So, these medicines are contraindicated in narcoleptic condition.
