Question 1 of 5

The nurse is performing a medication history on a patient who reports taking lorazepam (Ativan) for the past 6 months to treat an anxiety disorder. The patient states that the medication is not working as well as previously. The nurse will

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: understand that the patient has developed tolerance to this drug.
Tolerance occurs when a medication becomes less effective over time, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect. In this case, the patient reporting that lorazepam is not working as well suggests tolerance development. Contacting the provider to discuss changing medications (
B) or increasing the dose (
D) without considering tolerance would not address the underlying issue and could lead to potential risks. Suspecting worsening of the anxiety disorder (
A) is premature without ruling out tolerance. Other choices are not relevant to the situation.
