Explanation

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

A. Aspirate carefully after inserting the needle into the client's skin. B. Expel the air bubble from the prefilled syringe before injection. C. Administer the injection in the client's thigh. D. Insert the needle completely into the client's tissue.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Aspiration is not recommended for subcutaneous injections because it can increase tissue damage and pain. Enoxaparin should be administered without aspiration.

Choice B rationale

Prefilled syringes of enoxaparin contain an air bubble to ensure the entire dose is administered. Expelling the air bubble before injection is not recommended.

Choice C rationale

Enoxaparin should be administered in the abdomen, at least 2 inches away from the umbilicus, to ensure proper absorption and effectiveness.

Choice D rationale

Enoxaparin should be administered subcutaneously, and the needle should be inserted completely to ensure the medication is delivered into the subcutaneous tissue.
