Question 1 of 5

A 27-year-old male is taking an anticholinergic drug as adjunctive therapy to treat his peptic ulcer disease. The client comes to the clinic and tells the nurse that he 'feels his heart beating.' What adverse effect is the client experiencing from the anticholinergic medication?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Tachycardia. Anticholinergic drugs block the action of acetylcholine, leading to decreased parasympathetic activity. This results in increased sympathetic activity, causing tachycardia (rapid heart rate). Urinary frequency (choice
A) is not typically associated with anticholinergic drugs. Tachypnea (choice
C) refers to rapid breathing, which is not a common adverse effect of anticholinergic medications. Hypotension (choice
D) is unlikely as anticholinergics tend to cause an increase in blood pressure rather than hypotension.
