Which benefit is most directly associated with the prescribed use of cyclobenzaprine for fracture patients?

Increased bone density
Enhanced fracture healing
Relief of muscle spasms
Prevention of infection

The correct answer is: Relief of muscle spasms

Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant commonly prescribed for the relief of muscle spasms and associated pain. Fracture patients often experience muscle spasms due to the trauma and subsequent immobility, which can contribute to further pain and discomfort. By alleviating muscle spasms, cyclobenzaprine helps improve patient comfort and mobility, facilitating the overall healing process. While options A, B, and D are important considerations in the treatment of fracture patients, they are not directly associated with the prescribed use of cyclobenzaprine. Increased bone density, enhanced fracture healing, and prevention of infection are typically managed through other medications, interventions, and healthcare strategies specific to those outcomes.
