My mom usually takes lorazepam but is out and she still has kolnopin from a previous prescription. is it safe to take one in place of the other?

It isn't: a good idea to substitute medications without consulting your doctor. You may want to consider speaking with whoever prescribes her medications. Hope this helps!
