Answer to Question 1

D
Drugs with anticholinergic properties block parasympathetic function of certain cranial nerves, resulting in dilated pupils, decreased tearing, dry mouth, tachycardia, and a slowed gastrointestinal system. Anticholinergics do not affect spinal nerve function or function associated with the central or sympathetic nervous systems.

Answer to Question 2

B
Milieu management provides a proactive approach to care. Safety overrides all other dimensions of the milieu.
