Question 1 of 5

The nurse assumes care of a patient who has myasthenia gravis and notes that a dose of neostigmine (Prostigmin) due 1 hour prior was not given. The nurse will anticipate the patient to exhibit which symptoms?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Muscle weakness. Neostigmine is a cholinesterase inhibitor used to treat myasthenia gravis by increasing muscle strength. If a dose is missed, the patient may experience a return of muscle weakness due to decreased acetylcholine levels at the neuromuscular junction. Excessive salivation (
A) is not a typical side effect of neostigmine. Respiratory paralysis (
B) is a severe complication of myasthenia gravis but would not occur within 1 hour of a missed dose. Muscle spasms (
D) are not a common symptom of myasthenia gravis or a missed dose of neostigmine.
