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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Insomnia. Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety, which can cause central nervous system depression, leading to drowsiness, sedation, and paradoxically, insomnia. Monitoring for insomnia is important to assess the effectiveness of the medication and adjust the dosage if needed. Hearing loss (
A), bradycardia (
C), and hypertension (
D) are not commonly associated adverse effects of alprazolam. Insomnia is the most relevant adverse effect to monitor in this case.
