Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing discharge medications with a client who has Parkinson's disease. The nurse should include teaching about the client's anticholinergic agent. Which of the following side effects should the nurse advise the client to report?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Anhidrosis, the inability to sweat normally, is a side effect of anticholinergic medications due to acetylcholine inhibition on sweat glands, posing a risk of hyperthermia. Drooling, tremors, and rigidity are Parkinson's symptoms, not typically caused by anticholinergics.
