Question: 1 / 105

Which medication is used to relieve muscle spasms in clients with fractures as understood by the nurse?

Cyclobenzaprine

Cyclobenzaprine is the correct answer because it is a muscle relaxant that is commonly used to relieve muscle spasms in clients with fractures. Cyclobenzaprine works by blocking nerve impulses or pain sensations that are sent to the brain. This helps to reduce muscle spasms and provide relief to the client.

Acetaminophen is a pain reliever and fever reducer, but it does not directly target muscle spasms like cyclobenzaprine does.

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can help with pain and inflammation, but it does not specifically target muscle spasms like cyclobenzaprine does.

Nystatin is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections and is not indicated for relieving muscle spasms in clients with fractures.
