Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Maintain atropine sulfate on standby as an antidote in case of overdose or severe cholinergic reaction. Epinephrine, lidocaine, and edrophonium would not be used for this purpose.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
It would not be appropriate to administer antacids because it will cause the urine to be alkaline and provide more opportunity for bacterial growth. The patients should be encouraged to force fluids and to include cranberry juice in those fluids to help acidify the urine. Avoiding urinary catheterization is an important nursing intervention in all patients because catheterization can allow introduction of bacteria in the bladder.
