Rationale: Because cyclobenzaprine has anticholinergic effects, it should be used cautiously in clients with a history of urinary retention, angle-closure glaucoma, and increased intraocular pressure. It is intended for short-term (2- to 3-week) therapy. Hypothyroidism, chronic bronchitis, and recurrent pneumonia are incorrect.
