A nurse is teaching a client Who has a new prescription for cyclobenzaprine. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C: Avoid driving until effects are known. This is important because cyclobenzaprine can cause drowsiness or dizziness, which can impair the ability to drive safely. By advising the client to avoid driving until they know how the medication affects them, the nurse is promoting safety. Monitoring for increased muscle spasms (choice A) is not necessary as cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant. Discontinuing medication if nausea occurs (choice B) is not typically required unless severe. Expecting urine to turn orange (choice D) is not a common side effect of cyclobenzaprine.
