Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing a client who suffers from panic disorder. Which SNRI drug can induce remission and prevent relapse for this disorder?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Venlafaxine (Effexor XR). Venlafaxine is an SNRI that has been shown to be effective in treating panic disorder by inducing remission and preventing relapse. It works by increasing the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, which helps regulate mood and reduce anxiety symptoms. Escitalopram (
B) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and may not be as effective as venlafaxine for panic disorder. Alprazolam (
C) is a benzodiazepine used for acute relief of panic attacks but is not recommended for long-term use due to the risk of dependence. Buspirone (
D) is a non-benzodiazepine anxiolytic that is not typically used as a first-line treatment for panic disorder.
