Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving neostigmine. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse identify as an adverse reaction to the medication?
Correct Answer: B,C,E
Rationale: The correct manifestations for an adverse reaction to neostigmine are sweating, respiratory distress, and bradycardia. Neostigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor, which can lead to overstimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system. Sweating is a common side effect due to increased cholinergic activity. Respiratory distress can occur due to bronchoconstriction from excessive cholinergic stimulation. Bradycardia can result from increased vagal tone. Hypoactive bowel sounds and urinary retention are not typically associated with neostigmine.
