A nurse is reviewing a client's medical history before administering a new prescription for atropine. Which of the following client conditions is contraindicated?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Glaucoma. Atropine is a medication that can worsen the condition of glaucoma by increasing intraocular pressure, leading to potential vision damage. Bronchospasms (A), diverticulitis (C), and diarrhea (D) are not contraindications for atropine administration. Bronchospasms can actually be treated with atropine, while diverticulitis and diarrhea are not directly affected by atropine.
