Question 1 of 5

A nursing student reports experiencing test-taking anxiety,including physical symptoms like a racing heart and trembling hands before exams. Which medication would the healthcare provider likely prescribe for episodic and acute symptom relief?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Lorazepam. Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine that is commonly prescribed for acute anxiety symptoms due to its fast-acting nature. It helps to reduce physical symptoms such as racing heart and trembling hands quickly, providing immediate relief for test-taking anxiety. Propranolol (
A) is a beta-blocker that is more suitable for long-term management of anxiety. Sertraline (
C) is an antidepressant typically used for generalized anxiety disorder and requires weeks to take effect. Buspirone (
D) is used for generalized anxiety disorder as well and is not ideal for acute symptom relief.
