Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching for a client who has generalized anxiety disorder and has been prescribed alprazolam. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Watch for drowsiness and light-headedness while taking alprazolam. Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety disorders, and common side effects include drowsiness and light-headedness. Instructing the client to be vigilant for these side effects is essential for their safety and well-being. This instruction empowers the client to monitor and report any concerning symptoms to their healthcare provider promptly.

Explanation for other choices:
A: Stop taking alprazolam right away if you experience abdominal discomfort - This is incorrect as abrupt discontinuation of alprazolam can lead to withdrawal symptoms.
C: Drinking alcohol decreases the effectiveness of alprazolam - This is incorrect because alcohol can potentiate the sedative effects of alprazolam and increase the risk of side effects.
D: This medication has a low risk for physical dependence - This is incorrect as alprazolam is known
