The nurse should administer dicyclomine, which is indicated for irritable bowel syndrome.

Pirenzepine and telenzepine are indicated for peptic ulcer disease, not irritable bowel syndrome.
Physostigmine is indicated for antimuscarinic poisoning.

Answer to Question 2

D
Schedule I drugs are not approved for any medical use.
Schedule I drugs have the highest potential for abuse.
Schedule II drugs have several approved indications.
Schedule V drugs have the lowest potential for abuse.
