  1. It can cause extreme drowsiness initially.
  2. It can lead to dependence.
  3. It can cause euphoria in some people.
  4. It can take up to 6 weeks to see full effects.

Question 2

A client with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) occupies much of the day with rituals involved with washing hands and frequently misses breakfast because of the behavior. What should the nurse do?
 
  1. Wake the client an hour early, allowing time to complete the ritual.
  2. Bring the meal to the client's room and allow as much time as needed for washing.
  3. Make the client stop washing and go to breakfast with the other clients.
  4. Allow the client to miss breakfast, since the ritual is more important than a missed meal.
