Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, C, E
Feedback:
Appropriate interventions include encouraging a high-fiber diet, increasing fluid intake, and encouraging ambulation and exercise. It is not the nurse's decision to decrease the dosage. Withholding the drug until the client's bowel patterns return would be inappropriate.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, D
Feedback:
Dry mouth caused by daily use of cholinergic blocking drugs can result in dysphagia and impeded, difficult-to-understand speech. Tooth decay, gingivitis, and gingival hyperplasia are not associated with dry mouth.
