Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
Anticipated side effects include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, facial flushing, sweating, rhinitis, bradycardia, and leg cramps. The incorrect options include fluid restriction and stimulation of dopamine. Adequate intake is necessary to address GI symptoms. Galantamine stimulates action of ACh, not dopamine.

Answer to Question 2

A
ChE inhibitors used in treatment of AD increase the availability of ACh, which stimulates action of the parasympathetic nervous system. This stimulation is likely to produce diarrhea. The other classifications work by different actions.
