Nursing Practice Application for anxiety and sleep disorder discusses 9 interventions for patient centered care. However, I am only focusing on 4.  Can you explain why these safety instructions are important.

 

Assess for changes in level of consciousness, disorientation or confusion, or agitation. (Neurologic changes may indicate overmedication or effects of sleep deprivation.)
Assess for changes in visual acuity, blurred vision, loss of peripheral vision, seeing rainbow halos around lights, acute eye pain, or any of these symptoms accompanied by nausea and vomiting and report immediately. (Increased intraoptic pressure in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma may occur in patients taking benzodiazepines.)
Monitor affect and emotional status. (Drugs may increase risk of mental depression, especially in patients with suicidal tendencies. Concurrent use of alcohol and other CNS depressants increase the effects and the risk.)
Avoid abrupt discontinuation of therapy. (Withdrawal symptoms, including rebound anxiety and sleeplessness, are possible with abrupt discontinuation after long-term use.)
