Answer to Question 2
Ans: B
Feedback:
The nurse should monitor the client for an increased risk of hypertensive crisis as an effect of the interaction between difenoxin with atropine and MAOI antidepressants. When the client is administered antihistamines, opioids, sedatives, or hypnotics with antidiarrheal drugs, there will be increased risk of CNS depression. When the client is administered antihistamines and general antidepressants with antidiarrheal drugs, there will be increased cholinergic blocking adverse reactions. There will not be a decreased effect of difenoxin when there is an interaction between difenoxin and MAOI antidepressants.
