Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse should administer dicyclomine, which is indicated for irritable bowel syndrome.
Bethanechol is a muscarinic agonist, not an antagonist, and would not be used to treat a patient with irritable bowel syndrome.
Pirenzepine and telenzepine are indicated for peptic ulcer disease, not irritable bowel syndrome.
Physostigmine is indicated for antimuscarinic poisoning.

Answer to Question 2

D
Schedule I drugs are not approved for any medical use.
Schedule I drugs have the highest potential for abuse.
Schedule II drugs have several approved indications.
Schedule V drugs have the lowest potential for abuse.
