A home health nurse is visiting an older adult client who has Alzheimer's disease. His
caregiver tells the nurse she has been administering prescribed Lorazepam, 1 mg three
times per day, to the client for restlessness and anxiety during the past few days. For
which of the following adverse effects should the nurse assess the client?

A. low-grade fever
B. sedation
C. diuresis
D. tonic-clonic seizures - ANSB. sedation

Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine with anti-anxiety and sedative effects. Older adult

doses of benzodiazepines. Clients who are 50 years or older can have a more profound
and prolonged sedation than younger clients.

A hospice nurse is caring for a client who has cancer and is taking naproxen 250 mg
three times daily PO and gabapentin 1,800 mg three times daily PO to manage pain.
The client tells the nurse, "I'm having pain that keeps me from doing what I'd like most
of the time." Which of the following additions should the nurse anticipate to the client's
medication regimen?

A. oral meperidine
B. parenteral naloxone
C. parenteral diazepam
D. oral oxycodone - ANSD. oral oxycodone

The client's current pain regimen consists of a nonopioid analgesic, naproxen, and an
adjuvant medication for neuropathic pain, gabapentin. According to the WHO analgesic
ladder for cancer pain management, the next addition to the pain regimen is an opioid
for moderate pain. Oxycodone is an oral opioid that relieves moderate to moderately
severe pain; therefore, it is an appropriate choice to add to the client's pain regimen.
