Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Benztropine can increase sensitivity to sunlight, which may increase the risk of sunburn. Therefore, the nurse should advise the client to protect himself from the sun by wearing a hat and sunglasses. Limiting activity is not necessary unless there are other medical reasons for doing so. There is no evidence to support the use of a multivitamin for additional energy, and it is not related to the client's drug therapy. It is not safe to advise the client that forgetting doses is all right, as this may result in decreased effectiveness of the medication or rebound symptoms.
