Exercise 4

Craig Edwards is a 46-year-old salesman working at a respected car dealership in the community. With the economy, his income has dropped significantly because it is partially based on commission and he is worried that he is notable to provide for his family. He begins to experience insomnia, difficulty concentrating, and other symptoms related to his anxiety. His health care provider prescribes a short-term course of lorazepam (Ativan) to help him through this difficult period.
