Question 1 of 5

A nurse is working with a patient who has been taking medication for anxiety for several weeks and now reports that the medication doesn't seem to work anymore. The patient has stopped taking the medication, as it doesn't work. Which finding should the nurse suspect?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: The patient is experiencing tolerance.
Tolerance occurs when the body gets used to a medication over time, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect. In this case, the patient feeling that the medication doesn't work anymore suggests a decreased response to the same dose, indicating tolerance. Withdrawal symptoms (
A) would occur if the patient abruptly stopped the medication. Habituation (
B) refers to getting used to the side effects, not losing effectiveness. Addiction (
C) involves a psychological dependence, which is not implied here.
