Question 5 of 5

A patient with multiple sclerosis is having muscle spasticity. The nurse anticipates which drug will be prescribed to treat the patient’s spasticity?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Cyclobenzaprine. Cyclobenzaprine is a centrally acting muscle relaxant commonly used to treat muscle spasticity in conditions like multiple sclerosis. It works by inhibiting nerve impulses to reduce muscle spasms. Neostigmine (A) is a cholinesterase inhibitor used for myasthenia gravis, not spasticity. Ropinirole (B) is a dopamine agonist used for Parkinson's disease and restless legs syndrome, not spasticity. Pyridostigmine (D) is also a cholinesterase inhibitor used for myasthenia gravis, not spasticity.
