ANS: C
The patient is exhibiting signs of acute anxiety, so the anxiolytic lorazepam will be given. Flumazenil is a benzodiazepine antagonist, given for overdose of benzodiazepines. Haloperidol is given for acute psychosis. Propranolol is a beta blocker, used to treat akathisia in patients taking phenothiazines.
