A staff nurse is working with a client on the medical unit.
The health care provider prescribes aspirin for the client to treat headache.
The client forgets and drinks two bottles of beer, which caused GI bleeding.
How should the nurse analyze this drug-drug interaction?

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.

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. .
