Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has just begun therapy with alprazolam to treat anxiety. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following adverse effects of this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Insomnia. Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine commonly used to treat anxiety, which can cause drowsiness as a side effect.
Therefore, monitoring for insomnia is important because it may indicate that the medication is not effectively managing the client's anxiety. Hypertension (
A) and bradycardia (
D) are not typically associated with alprazolam. Hearing loss (
B) is not a common side effect of this medication.
