    Clonazepam

    Uploaded by

    jhezelle05
    Clonazepam is used to treat seizures and panic disorders. It works by potentiating GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Common side effects include drowsiness, sedation, and fatigue. The student will monitor the client for relief of seizures and panic attacks while watching for potential adverse effects such as changes in mental status, heart rate, or liver function. The nurse must assess for drug interactions and addiction risk, and ensure the client wears medical identification if being treated for epilepsy.
