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
Fatigue and dizziness are common baclofen side effects, so avoiding hazardous activities is appropriate. Stopping abruptly, increasing fluids/protein, or seeking emergency care are not warranted without further assessment.
