Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Atenolol and other beta-blockers have an antihypertensive effect. They are unlikely to affect temperature, LOC, or oxygen saturation levels.

D
Feedback:
Atropine sulfate is the specific antidote for mushroom poisoning. Pyridostigmine, donepezil, and rivastigmine are all cholinergic agents that would contribute to the symptoms of toxicity.
