While assessing a patient before administering neostigmine for the treatment of myasthenia gravis, the nurse notices that the patient has greater muscle strength than when assessed 1 hour ago.
 
  The nurse's interpretation of this assessment information is that:
  1. the dose needs to be increased.
  2. the medication schedule seems to be effective.
  3. the patient will not require the next scheduled dose.
  4. toxicity is impending.

Question 2

When toxicity results from irreversible cholinesterase inhibitors, it is usually a result of:
 
  1. overdose of a prescribed medication.
  2. drug interaction between a prescribed medication and an over-the-counter agent.
  3. poisoning by organophosphates.
  4. a genetic predisposition or lack of a degrading enzyme.
