Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) has anticholinergic properties and can cause constipation, so the patient should increase the intake of fiber while taking this medication. There is no need to limit sodium. There is no need to limit caffeine. There is no need to increase protein.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Dantrolene (Dantrium) is a Pregnancy Category C drug, so pregnancy should be assessed prior to administration. Gastric ulcer disease is not a contraindication to receiving dantrolene (Dantrium). Gallbladder disease is not a contraindication to receiving dantrolene (Dantrium). Cardiovascular disease is not a contraindication to receiving dantrolene (Dantrium).
