Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has been taking Xanax (alprazolam) for anxiety. The nurse anticipates which of the following?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: The client's at-home dose should be decreased. Xanax (alprazolam) is a benzodiazepine used for anxiety, but long-term use can lead to tolerance and dependence.
To prevent these issues, the dose should be periodically decreased. This helps maintain the drug's effectiveness and reduces the risk of dependence and withdrawal symptoms. Increasing the dose (option
B) can worsen tolerance and dependency. Xanax (alprazolam) does cause dependency (option
C), contrary to the statement. Adding Ativan (Lorazepam) (option
D) is not indicated without assessing the client's response to Xanax first.
