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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
