    A nurse is reviewing a client’s medical history before administering a new prescription for atropine. Which of the following client conditions is contraindicated?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Bronchospasms are not a contraindication for atropine. In fact, atropine can be used to treat bronchospasms in certain situations because it helps to relax the airways. B. Diarrhea is not a contraindication for atropine. Atropine can actually be used to treat diarrhea by reducing gastrointestinal motility. C. Glaucoma is a contraindication for atropine. Atropine can increase intraocular pressure, which can worsen glaucoma and potentially lead to vision loss. D. Diverticulitis is not a contraindication for atropine. Atropine does not have a direct effect on diverticulitis.
