The nurse would expect that the client would not need which of the following medications after taking buspirone (Buspar) for two weeks?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Buspirone is a non-benzodiazepine anxiolytic medication, which means it does not interact with the same receptors in the brain as benzodiazepines like lorazepam (Ativan). Therefore, a client who has been taking buspirone for two weeks would not need lorazepam for anxiety. However, the client may still need medications such as donepezil (Aricept) for dementia, lithium carbonate for mood stabilization, or aripiprazole (Abilify) for antipsychotic and mood-stabilizing effects, depending on their individual needs and medical history.
