A patient comes into the emergency room with symptoms of organophosphate poisoning. The nurse has reason to believe that the exposure occurred within the past 2 hours. Which plan for treatment should the nurse expect?
 
  1. Administer pralidoxime as an antidote.
  2. Treat the symptoms with echothiophate.
  3. Keep the patient quiet; administer nothing until aging occurs.
  4. Give neostigmine as the antidote.

Question 2

A major difference between physostigmine and neostigmine is that physostigmine:
 
  1. is not as effective for treating poisoning by muscarinic-blocking drugs.
  2. can readily cross the blood-brain barrier.
  3. is devoid of side effects.
  4. cannot reverse the effects of neuromuscular blockers.
