A patient with myasthenia gravis is receiving therapy with neostigmine. The patient telephones to state that severe abdominal pain has developed. The nurse's best response would be:
 
  1. You need to be evaluated for a bowel obstruction.
  2. You are probably constipated. Take a laxative, and call tomorrow.
  3. This is a common side effect of neostigmine and should not cause concern.
  4. This is a sign of your disease and you should increase the neostigmine dose.

Question 2

A patient is being evaluated in the emergency department with a differential diagnosis of antimuscarinic poisoning versus psychosis. Which sign or symptom would the nurse expect to find if the patient is experiencing poisoning?
 
  1. Dry mouth
  2. Hypothermia
  3. Salivation
