Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

When administering memantine to a client, a nurse should monitor the client for adverse reactions such as dizziness, headache, or confusion. Dyspepsia is an adverse reaction of rivastigmine; muscle cramps are an adverse reaction of donepezil; vomiting is an adverse reaction of rivastigmine and galantamine.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The administration of donepezil is contraindicated in clients with asthma. The drug is not contraindicated in clients with bronchitis, beriberi, or amnesia.
