Answer to Question 1

d. ineffectiveness and frustration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
All the side effects mentioned are the result of the anticholinergic effects of the drug. Only urinary retention and severe constipation warrant immediate medical attention. Dry mouth, blurred vision, and nasal congestion may be less troublesome as therapy continues.
