Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increase in muscle strength suggests that the neostigmine is working and improving the client's symptoms of myasthenia gravis. Toxicity or increasing the dose would not be appropriate based solely on this assessment. With an improvement in muscle strength, the next dose should still be given as prescribed.
