    A client with myasthenia gravis is experiencing a cholinergic crisis. Which symptoms are associated with this condition? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Bradycardia Bradycardia (slow heart rate) is a symptom of cholinergic crisis. Excessive stimulation of acetylcholine receptors can lead to bradycardia. B. Rash Rash is not typically associated with cholinergic crisis. Instead, it may be associated with other conditions or drug reactions. C. Vomiting Vomiting is a symptom of cholinergic crisis. Excessive stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract by acetylcholine can lead to increased gastrointestinal motility and nausea/vomiting. D. Fever Fever is not typically associated with cholinergic crisis. Instead, it may suggest an infection or other inflammatory condition. E. Drooling Drooling is a symptom of cholinergic crisis. Excessive stimulation of salivary glands by acetylcholine can lead to increased salivation and drooling.
