A married couple is seeking counseling for domestic abuse issues. The husband states that he can't control his anger when his wife constantly nags at him. In the assault cycle, the wife's behavior in this situation is the stage known as:
 
  a. Recovery
  b. Crisis
  c. Escalation
  d. Trigger

Question 2

A patient tells the nurse that she wants her physician to prescribe diazepam (Valium) for anxiety reduction. The physician has prescribed buspirone (BuSpar). The nurse's reply should be based on the knowledge that buspirone:
 
  a. can be administered as a PRN medication.
  b. does not increase the risk of blood dyscrasias.
  c. is not habituating or likely to be abused.
  d. is faster acting than benzodiazepine drugs.

Answer to Question 1

D
The nagging is the trigger to the assault in this situation. The trigger stage should not be confused as being a justified reason for an assault to occur.

Answer to Question 2

C
Buspirone is considered effective in the long-term management of anxiety because it is effective at relieving anxiety and is not habituating. However, because it has a relatively slow onset of action (slower than benzodiazepines) and is long acting, it is not appropriate as a PRN medication or a fast-acting medication. Benzodiazepines are unlikely to increase risks of blood dyscrasias.
