A client with multiple sclerosis starts a new prescription, baclofen, to control muscle spasticity. Three days later, the client calls the clinic nurse and reports feeling fatigued and dizzy. Which instruction should the nurse provide?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Baclofen commonly causes dizziness/fatigue (A), especially initially. Avoiding hazardous activities (e.g., driving) ensures safety. Fluids/protein (B) are unrelated. Stopping abruptly (C) risks withdrawal. Emergency care (D) is unnecessary unless symptoms worsen.
