A nurse would recognize which treatment as most commonly used for AD and its appropriate rationale?
1. Psychotherapy; to examine the stressor and confront unresolved issues
2. Fluoxetine (Prozac); to stabilize mood and resolve symptoms
3. Eye movement desensitization therapy; to reprocess traumatic events
4. Lorazepam (Ativan); a first-line treatment to address symptoms of anxiety

Rationale: Psychotherapy is the most common treatment used for AD. AD is not commonly treated with medications. Anxiolytic and antidepressant medications may be prescribed as adjuncts to psychotherapy but should not be given as the first line of treatment. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy is not used to treat adjustment disorders.
