Free AAMA Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) Practice Question
A patient with a history of seizures has been prescribed a medication to manage their condition. Which of the following drug classes does the patient's medication most likely belong to?
The correct answer is anticonvulsants, because these are used to control seizures. Antihypertensives are used for managing high blood pressure and would not be effective for seizures. Antipyretics are used to reduce fever and are not indicated for seizure control. Diuretics are used to increase the expulsion of water from the body and do not have an application in seizure management.
