The nurse has reinforced teaching with a client who has anxiety and a new prescription for alprazolam. Which of the following statements by the client would indicate a correct understanding of the teaching?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine, and its use during pregnancy can pose risks to the fetus. Discontinuing and notifying the provider is critical. Muscle relaxants may enhance sedation, skipping doses disrupts therapeutic levels, and dietary restrictions like avoiding tyramine are not required for alprazolam.
