  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:

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.
