Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Atenolol and other beta-blockers have an antihypertensive effect. They are unlikely to affect temperature, LOC, or oxygen saturation levels.

Atropine sulfate is the specific antidote for mushroom poisoning. Pyridostigmine, donepezil, and rivastigmine are all cholinergic agents that would contribute to the symptoms of toxicity.
