    Mery Ong Benitez
    Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine used to treat seizure disorders, anxiety, tension, insomnia, and procedural sedation. It works by facilitating GABA binding in the central nervous system to produce anticonvulsive, sedative, muscle relaxing, and anxiolytic effects. Potential adverse effects include bradycardia, dizziness, fatigue, and erectile dysfunction. Nursing responsibilities involve monitoring the patient's response, informing them of potential side effects, and assisting with activities of daily living.
