Results Displayed Feedback • Question 1 1 out of 1 points Which of the following would be the most important safety-related instruction for a nurse to give to a patient taking baclofen (Lioresal)? Response Feedback: In a patient experiencing spasticity, the nurse should advise the patient to stop drinking alcohol. Alcohol consumption may increase the adverse effect of sedation, causing sleepiness, dizziness, and blurred vision. The patient should not drive or walk after taking the drug; he should learn to self-administer the drug; and constipation is a concern. However, the most important safety concern is to avoid alcohol. • Question 2 1 out of 1 points A nurse will monitor which of the following when assigned to a patient taking allopurinol for chronic gout who visits the clinic every 2 months? Response Feedback: The most common adverse effects of allopurinol include pruritus, maculopapular rash, nausea and vomiting, elevated liver function tests, and acute gout symptoms. Blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and body temperature are not associated with adverse effects of allopurinol. • Question 3 1 out of 1 points A nurse is assessing a patient who has come to the emergency department complaining of back spasms. The patient states that he has a history of opioid addiction and does not want to take any drug that “puts me at risk of becoming physically dependent.” Which of the following medications would the nurse question, if ordered? Response Feedback: The nurse would be concerned if the physician ordered cyclobenzaprine because long-term use of this drug may result in physical dependence. The other drugs listed are not associated with physical dependence. • Question 4 1 out of 1 points A 40-year-old woman with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia has been prescribed cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) as an adjunct to her existing drug regimen. What nursing diagnosis should the nurse prioritize when updating the nursing care plan for this patient? Response Feedback: The CNS depression that is associated with the use of cyclobenzaprine constitutes a risk for injury. The anticholinergic effects of the drug constitute a risk for constipation, not diarrhea. Nutrition and swallowing are not typically affected by the use of cyclobenzaprine.
