Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving mydriatic eye drops. Which of the following manifestations indicates to the nurse that the client has developed a systemic anticholinergic effect?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Constipation. Mydriatic eye drops contain anticholinergic medications that can lead to systemic anticholinergic effects. Constipation is a common manifestation of anticholinergic toxicity due to the inhibition of gastrointestinal motility. Bradycardia, seizures, and hypothermia are not typical systemic anticholinergic effects. Bradycardia could be a result of excessive vagal stimulation, seizures are not a common anticholinergic effect, and hypothermia is not directly associated with anticholinergic toxicity.
Therefore, constipation is the most relevant manifestation indicating systemic anticholinergic effect in this scenario.
