Diazepam is an anticonvulsant, sedative, and skeletal muscle relaxant used to treat grand mal seizures and acute anxiety states. It works by suppressing seizure activity in the brain and is effective in treating tremors and anxiety. Common side effects include respiratory depression, hypotension, blurred vision, amnesia, and drowsiness. Nurses should monitor vital signs, assess IV sites, observe patients for seizure activity, and demonstrate the effectiveness of therapy through decreased anxiety and controlled seizures.
