Question 1 of 5

A client has overdosed on scopolamine (Scopace) while being treated for motion sickness. The nurse recognizes she will administer which medication for an anticholinergic overdose?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Physostigmine. Physostigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor that reverses anticholinergic toxicity by increasing acetylcholine levels in the brain. This helps counteract the effects of excessive scopolamine, which is an anticholinergic medication. Flumazenil (
A) is a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist, not indicated for anticholinergic overdose. Atropine (
B) is itself an anticholinergic medication and would worsen the overdose. Naloxone (
C) is used for opioid overdose, not anticholinergic toxicity.
Therefore, Physostigmine is the correct choice for treating anticholinergic overdose in this scenario.
