Answer:

The medication is meant to be used for a short time in order to assist the client to complete withdrawal process.

Explanation:

Lorazepam refers to a short-acting benzodiazepine and it may be administered for a client for one in order to assist him in withdrawing from alcohol.

The purpose of giving lorazepam is to reduce the symptoms of withdrawal, but it is not meant to forget the experience. In addition, the purpose of administering it is not for the treatment of cardiovascular problems that exist together, and it is meant to enhance a sense of well-being.

Llorazepam has a potential risk for cross-addiction and this has been generating some argument over its use making some people to discourage using it.
