Question 1 of 5

A nurse is educating the client about the baclofen. Which of the following responses is a therapeutic use of baclofen?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Relief of spasticity related to cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis. Baclofen is a muscle relaxant that acts on the central nervous system to reduce muscle spasticity commonly seen in conditions like cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, and multiple sclerosis. This is its primary therapeutic use, as it helps to decrease muscle stiffness and improve mobility in these patients.

Incorrect choices:
B: Treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - Baclofen is not indicated for the treatment of BPH.
C: Treatment of malignant hyperthermia - Baclofen is not used to treat malignant hyperthermia, which is a life-threatening condition triggered by certain drugs during anesthesia.
D: Treatment of alcohol use disorder - Baclofen can be used off-label for alcohol use disorder, but it is not its primary therapeutic use.
