Resident #1 slept better. She reported the clonazepam medication was a little more sedating and lasted longer than the lorazepam medication. When asked if there could be any negative effects from receiving the lorazepam instead of the clonazepam, she said Resident #1 morning anxiety and difficulty sleeping at night may have contributed to her receiving a shorter acting benzodiazepine versus a long acting benzodiazepine.
