Extract:


Question 1 of 5

When a patient is taking an anticholinergic such as benztropine as part of the treatment for Parkinson's disease, the nurse should include which information in the teaching plan?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, to use artificial saliva, sugarless gum, or hard candy to counteract dry mouth when taking an anticholinergic like benztropine for Parkinson's disease. Anticholinergics can cause dry mouth by blocking the action of acetylcholine at muscarinic receptors. Providing options like artificial saliva, sugarless gum, or hard candy can help alleviate dry mouth symptoms.

Other choices are incorrect:
A: Minimizing fluid intake is not necessary with benztropine and can lead to dehydration.
B: Discontinuing the medication without healthcare provider guidance can be dangerous and may worsen Parkinson's symptoms.
C: Taking the medication on an empty stomach is not necessary for absorption and may increase gastrointestinal side effects.
