Scenario: You are a nurse in an inpatient acute care rehabilitation center. Your client is a 55-year-old woman who has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She is determined to learn as much as she can about the treatments available for her disease. The client's questions are presented below. Your client asks: "My provider prescribed interferon beta. What is this medication, and how does it work?" Which statement by the nurse should be included in teaching? Interferon beta is a naturally occurring hormone within the body that increases receptor response. Interferon beta inhibits dopamine with the cerebral cortex, decreasing severity of attacks. Interferon beta activates T-helper cells, causing an increase in immune function. Interferon beta modifies the immune system, causing decreased frequency and severity of attacks.
