    The nurse is assessing a client who suffers from panic disorder. Which SNRI drug can induce remission and prevent relapse for this disorder?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Venlafaxine (Effexor XR) is a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) that is effective in treating panic disorder and can help induce remission and prevent relapse. B. Escitalopram (Lexapro) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), which is effective for panic disorder but not an SNRI. C. Alprazolam (Xanax) is a benzodiazepine that can provide short-term relief for panic attacks but does not address long-term management or prevention of relapse. D. Buspirone (Buspar) is an anxiolytic used for generalized anxiety disorder but is not typically effective for panic disorder.
