Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C, D, E
Feedback:
A nurse should withhold a cholinergic blocking drug from an older adult client who is excited, agitated, mentally confused, drowsy, or experiencing urinary retention or other adverse effects.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, D
Feedback:
A nurse may notice an increased effect of the cholinergic blocking drug when it is administered with meperidine (Demerol) and amitriptyline (Elavil) because meperidine and tricyclic antidepressants increase the effect of the cholinergic blockers. If given with fluconazole, an antifungal agent, the effectiveness of the antifungal agent decreases. If given with haloperidol, haloperidol's effectiveness is decreased. If given with digoxin, the risk for digoxin toxicity increases.
