Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amantadine can lower seizure threshold and may worsen epilepsy. Therefore, the nurse should report the client's history of epilepsy to the health care provider to determine whether amantadine is a suitable treatment option. The other health history options (B, C, and D) are not directly relevant to the administration of amantadine.
