Monitor for increased muscle spasms.

Discontinue medication if nausea occurs.

Avoid driving until effects are known.

Expect urine to turn orange.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant used to relieve muscle spasms in various musculoskeletal conditions. One of the common side effects of cyclobenzaprine is drowsiness and impaired cognitive function, which can affect the ability to operate machinery or drive safely.
A. Cyclobenzaprine is used to reduce muscle spasms, so monitoring for increased muscle spasms would not be appropriate.
B. Nausea can be a common side effect of cyclobenzaprine, but it does not typically require discontinuation of the medication unless it is severe or persistent and causing significant distress.
D. Cyclobenzaprine does not typically cause urine discoloration, so expecting urine to turn orange is not relevant to the medication.
