Question 1 of 5

A nurse is evaluating the effectiveness of a medication for a client taking cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril). Which of the following statements indicate that the medication is effective for the client?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: An absence of muscle rigidity and spasms with a good range of motion. This indicates that the medication is effective for the client because cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant used to treat muscle spasms and stiffness. Improvement in muscle rigidity and spasm, along with the restoration of a good range of motion, suggest that the medication is working as intended.

A: A decrease in urinary symptoms is not directly related to the effectiveness of cyclobenzaprine in treating muscle spasms.
C: Physical dependence from chronic long-term use is a potential adverse effect of cyclobenzaprine, not an indication of its effectiveness.
D: No spontaneous respiratory movements in a client on mechanical ventilation is a serious complication, not a measure of medication effectiveness.

In summary, the correct answer focuses on the expected therapeutic outcome of cyclobenzaprine, making it the most appropriate choice.
