Answer to Question 2

C
By elevating acetylcholine in the periphery, all cholinesterase inhibitors can cause typical choli-nergic side effects, including nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, and diarrhea.
Numbness and tingling of the extremities are not expected side effects of cholinesterase inhibi-tors.
Headache and confusion are not expected side effects of cholinesterase inhibitors.
Tinnitus, vertigo, and hearing loss are not expected effects of cholinesterase inhibitors.
