Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A pulse of 112 is above the normal range (60-100 bpm) and could indicate tachycardia, a potential side effect of benztropine. The nurse should hold the dosage and notify the healthcare provider to assess the need for a medication adjustment. The respiratory rate, blood pressure, and temperature do not necessarily indicate a need to hold the medication.
