A nurse is caring for a client with a new prescription for digoxin for one week.
The client reported having blurred vision, vomiting, and weight loss of 4 pounds in one week.
Which of the following medications should the nurse anticipate to give to the client based on the presenting symptoms?

Choice A rationale

Cyclobenzaprine is commonly prescribed for the relief of muscle spasms related to acute musculoskeletal conditions. It is a muscle relaxant.

Choice B rationale

This choice is incorrect as cyclobenzaprine is not used for malignant hyperthermia. Dantrolene is the medication used for this condition.

Choice C rationale

Cyclobenzaprine is not indicated for spasticity related to cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, or multiple sclerosis. Other medications like baclofen or dantrolene are used for these conditions.

Choice D rationale

Not all the above choices are correct; hence this is incorrect. .

Choice A rationale

Rotating injection sites helps prevent lipohypertrophy, which is the thickening of subcutaneous tissue due to repeated insulin injections at the same site.

Choice B rationale

Performing injections at the same location every time increases the risk of lipohypertrophy, leading to poor insulin absorption and erratic glucose control.

Choice C rationale

Administering an additional dose of insulin as needed does not address the issue of lipohypertrophy and can lead to hypoglycemia if not carefully monitored.

Choice D rationale

Insulin is a peptide hormone that must be injected. Taking it orally is ineffective as it would be broken down in the digestive system.
