The client with bipolar disorder, who is on Divalproex, asks the nurse why the psychiatrist ordered an anticonvulsant when the client has no history of seizures.
 
  1. Clients with bipolar disorder are at increased risk of having seizures and are treated to prevent them.
  2. Divalproex is not an anticonvulsant; it is an antipsychotic medication.
  3. The client must be on another medication that lowers the seizure threshold and the Divalproex is protective.
  4. Several anticonvulsant medications, including Divalproex, are used as mood stabilizers.
