    A client is taking pyridostigmine for muscle weakness associated with myasthenia gravis. The nurse educates the client on which possible cholinergic side effects associated with this medication? (Select all that apply)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Dry mouth is not a cholinergic side effect; cholinergic effects typically increase secretions. B. Diarrhea is a common cholinergic side effect due to increased gastrointestinal motility. C. Decreased urination is not expected; cholinergic agents may increase urination. D. Excessive lacrimation (tearing) is a common cholinergic effect, as these agents stimulate glandular secretions. E. Tachycardia is not a cholinergic side effect; bradycardia is more likely due to cholinergic effects. F. Excessive sweating is a cholinergic effect due to increased glandular activity.
