Question 1 of 5
The nurse is administering the muscle relaxant baclofen by mouth (PO) to a client diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Baclofen can cause dizziness or orthostatic hypotension, increasing fall risk in clients with multiple sclerosis, who may already have impaired coordination. Advising slow, cautious movement when rising and walking is the most critical intervention to prevent falls. Monitoring intake/output or muscle strength is not directly related to baclofen’s side effects, and abrupt discontinuation risks withdrawal.
