A 43-year-old woman was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 2 years ago and has experienced a recent exacerbation of her symptoms, including muscle spasticity. Consequently, she has been prescribed Dantrolene (Dantrium).
 
  In light of this new addition to her drug regimen, what teaching point should the woman's nurse provide?
  A) This will likely relieve your muscle spasms but you'll probably develop a certain amount of dependence on the drug over time.
  B) We'll need to closely monitor your blood sugar levels for the next week.
  C) There's a small risk that you might experience some hallucinations in the first few days that you begin taking this drug.
  D) You might find that this drug exacerbates some of your muscle weakness while it relieves your spasticity.
