Question

The nurse has completed medication education for the anxious patient who is receiving buspirone (BuSpar). The nurse determines that the patient needs additional instruction when the patient makes which statement?

Answer 1

The patient needs additional instruction if he makes the statement “I can take this medication when I feel anxious and it will relax me.”

Step-by-step explanation:

• BuSpar is an anxiety disorder pill that works by the "alteration of levels of neurotransmitters" in the body.

• It can take a several weeks for the patient to achieve the anxiety reduction.

• It cannot be used whenever it is preferred by the patient. So, if any patient have the thought of having it whenever he/she feels anxious, proper instructional medication should be given to him/her.
