A client has a new prescription for cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril). Which of the following statements should the nurse include as a therapeutic indication for this medication?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) is a muscle relaxant used to relieve muscle spasms caused by muscle injury. It works by acting on the central nervous system to reduce muscle tone. B. Cyclobenzaprine is not effective for spasticity related to conditions like cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, or multiple sclerosis; other medications like baclofen are more appropriate for spasticity. C. Cyclobenzaprine is not used to treat malignant hyperthermia. This condition is treated with dantrolene. D. Cyclobenzaprine does not treat postmenopausal osteoporosis, which is typically managed with medications like bisphosphonates (e.g., alendronate).
