A nurse is collecting data from a client who has been taking diazepam several times per day but recently ran out of the medication. Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as a manifestation of withdrawal from diazepam?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Tremors: Benzodiazepine withdrawal commonly presents with tremors, anxiety, agitation, insomnia, and in severe cases, seizures. B. Anorexia: While appetite changes may occur during withdrawal, it is not the primary manifestation. C. Drowsiness: Drowsiness is more commonly associated with the sedative effects of diazepam rather than its withdrawal. D. Hypotension: Withdrawal from diazepam is more likely to cause hypertension and tachycardia due to autonomic hyperactivity.
