Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atropine is contraindicated in clients with glaucoma because it can increase intraocular pressure and lead to vision damage. Clients with hiatal hernia, hyperthyroidism, or lung cancer can still receive atropine, as long as it is prescribed by a healthcare provider and the medication's benefits outweigh any potential risks or adverse effects.
