Question 1 of 5

A client who has had abdominal surgery has been discharged on a cholinergic drug to assist in increasing gastrointestinal peristalsis. The nurse will teach this client to look for which therapeutic effect?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Passage of flatus. Cholinergic drugs stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting gastrointestinal motility. This leads to increased peristalsis and ultimately helps in the passage of flatus, relieving abdominal distention post-surgery.

Choices A and B are incorrect as cholinergic drugs do not typically affect pulse or urinary function.
Choice C, abdominal cramping, is a potential side effect of cholinergic drugs due to increased GI motility, but it is not the therapeutic effect being sought.
Therefore, the correct therapeutic effect to look for in a client on a cholinergic drug after abdominal surgery is the passage of flatus.
