Question 1 of 5
A client has a new prescription for cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril). Which of the following statements should the nurse include as a therapeutic indication for this medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Relief of muscle spasms related to muscle injury. Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant commonly used to treat acute musculoskeletal conditions characterized by muscle spasms. It works by blocking nerve impulses or pain sensations that are sent to the brain. This medication is not indicated for spasticity related to cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, or multiple sclerosis, as these conditions involve more complex neurological issues. It is also not used for treating malignant hyperthermia, a rare but serious condition triggered by certain medications. Additionally, cyclobenzaprine is not indicated for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, which is a condition characterized by decreased bone density, not muscle spasms.
Therefore, the correct therapeutic indication for cyclobenzaprine is the relief of muscle spasms related to muscle injury.
