What should a client avoid while taking alprazolam for insomnia?

Drinking caffeinated beverages
Activities requiring alertness
Eating grapefruit
Taking a bath

The correct answer is: Activities requiring alertness

Clients taking alprazolam for insomnia should avoid activities requiring alertness because alprazolam is a benzodiazepine sedative-hypnotic drug that can cause drowsiness and impair alertness. Ingesting caffeine (choice A) may exacerbate these sedative effects. Eating grapefruit (choice C) is generally contraindicated with certain medications due to its potential to alter drug metabolism, but it is not specifically related to alprazolam. Taking a bath (choice D) is not typically contraindicated with alprazolam use.
