I’m working on a nursing question and need an explanation to help me learn.
1) Anna has called the health clinic in a panic. She says that she has been taking Pepto- Bismol for diarrhea and noticed this morning that her tongue “is a funny color.” She asks, “Have I overdosed on this stuff? What should I do?” What will the nurse tell Anna?
2) Mrs. B. is a 65-year-old retiree with osteoporosis and narrow-angle glaucoma. She has recently developed diarrhea, and the physician is considering antidiarrheal therapy. Mrs. B. tells the nurse that her husband recently “had a bout of diarrhea,” for which he took Donnatal. Mrs. B. wonders whether Donnatal would help in her case. What will the nurse tell her?
