A Patient Received Atropine Intravenously Before Surgery

question 5

Multiple Choice

A patient received atropine intravenously before surgery. The recovery room nurse notes that the patient is delirious upon awakening and has a heart rate of 96 beats/min, a respiratory rate of 22 breaths per minute, and a blood pressure of 110/78 mm Hg. The nurse notifies the anesthesiologist, who will order:

• A) activated charcoal to minimize intestinal absorption of the antimuscarinic agent.
• B) an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor to compete with the antimuscarinic agent at receptors.
• C) an antipsychotic medication to treat the patient's central nervous system symptoms.
• D) ipratropium bromide [Atrovent] to counter the respiratory effects of the antimuscarinic agent.

Parallel Resistance

The overall resistance of resistors connected in parallel, calculated in a way that the total resistance is always less than the smallest individual resistor's resistance in the circuit.

Superposition Theorem

A principle that allows for the analysis of circuits with multiple sources by considering the effect of each source separately and then summing the results.

Closed Loop

A closed loop refers to a control system where the output influences the input through feedback to maintain desired operation characteristics.
