Question 1 of 5

A nurse in the PACU is caring for a client who has received general anesthesia and has manifestations of malignant hyperthermia. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect to administer?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Dantrolene. Dantrolene is the specific medication used to treat malignant hyperthermia by inhibiting calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and preventing muscle contraction. Diazepam (
A) is a benzodiazepine used for sedation, not for treating malignant hyperthermia. Cyclobenzaprine (
C) and Metaxalone (
D) are muscle relaxants that do not directly address the underlying issue of malignant hyperthermia.
Therefore, the most appropriate choice for treating malignant hyperthermia in this scenario is Dantrolene.
