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.

I hope this answer is helpful to you, but please let me know if you have any other questions regarding it.

if your boyfriend is cheating on you, my best advice to you is to dump him, he's only going to drag you down. and if you do, don't fret there's plenty better that know how to treat a person right. i mean honestly, the whole point of a romantic relationship is love, and if you love someone you aren't going to cheat on them. i do believe in second chances, but why would he cheat in the first place? i personally feel that if someone cheats, they ruin any chance they wanted/had with you. i wish you the best of luck with this, hang in there.
