Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is experiencing alcohol withdrawal. For which of the following findings should the nurse anticipate administration of lorazepam?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hypertension. Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine commonly used to manage alcohol withdrawal symptoms, including hypertension. Alcohol withdrawal often leads to increased sympathetic nervous system activity, causing elevated blood pressure. Lorazepam helps to reduce this symptom by promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety. Bradycardia (
A), stupor (
B), and afebrile (
C) are not indications for lorazepam administration in alcohol withdrawal. Bradycardia and stupor may require further evaluation for potential complications, while afebrile state does not directly warrant lorazepam use.
