Question 1 pts
The provider is assessing an older adult male patient prior to beginning a
prescribed anticholinergic drug. Which question concerning preexisting
conditions demonstrates the provider’s understanding of possible
contraindications to this therapy?
“Do you have any vision problems that require a prescribed medication?”
“Would you say that diarrhea is a problem you deal with regularly?”
“Do you have problems with urinary incontinence?”
“Have you ever been treated for prostate cancer?”
Anticholinergic drugs have been designated as potentially inappropriate for use
in geriatric patients. They can cause confusion, blurred vision, tachycardia,
urinary retention, and constipation. Many of these complicate preexisting
conditions (e.g., urinary retention secondary to benign prostatic hyperplasia) and
increase the risk for other conditions (e.g., narrow-angle glaucoma risk
secondary to pupil dilation and heat-related illness secondary to hyperthermia
and impaired sweating mechanisms).
Question 2 pts
A prescriber orders clonidine ER (Kapvay ER) tablets for a 12-year-old child to
treat which condition?
Tourette syndrome
