A nurse is teaching a client about cyclobenzaprinWhich of the following client statements should indicate to the nurse that the teaching is effective?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: "I will taper off the medication before discontinuing it." This indicates effective teaching because cyclobenzaprine should not be abruptly stopped to prevent withdrawal symptoms. Tapering off gradually helps the body adjust. Saliva production (A) is not a typical side effect. Continuing until rash disappears (B) is incorrect as it may not be related to the medication. Reporting urinary incontinence (D) is important but not related to proper medication use.
