Question 1 of 5
A client has overdosed on scopolamine (Scopace) while being treated for motion sickness. The nurse recognizes she will administer which reversal medication for an anticholinergic overdose?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Physostigmine. Physostigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor that reverses the effects of anticholinergic toxicity by increasing acetylcholine levels in the brain. This helps counteract the overdose of scopolamine, which is an anticholinergic drug. Naloxone (
A) is used to reverse opioid overdose, not anticholinergic toxicity. Flumazenil (
B) is used for benzodiazepine overdose. Sertraline (
D) is an antidepressant and not indicated for anticholinergic toxicity.
