Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. The headache is not related to anxiety but is a known side effect of nitroglycerin due to vasodilation.
B. An allergy to nitroglycerin typically presents as a rash or breathing difficulty, not a headache.
C. Nitroglycerin commonly causes headaches due to the dilation of blood vessels in the brain, which usually lessens over time as the body adjusts.
D. A headache does not indicate tolerance to the medication. Tolerance develops when the body becomes less responsive to the medication's effects, which usually involves a reduced effect on chest pain, not the onset of a headache.

A. Excessive salivation B. Diarrhea C. Difficulty voiding D. Slow pulse

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Benztropine is an anticholinergic agent, which reduces salivation rather than causing excessive salivation.
B. Diarrhea is not a typical side effect of benztropine; constipation is more likely due to its anticholinergic properties.
C. Difficulty voiding is an anticholinergic adverse effect of benztropine, as it can cause urinary retention. The client should report this symptom immediately to prevent complications.
D. Slow pulse is not a common adverse effect of benztropine; it may actually increase heart rate due to its anticholinergic effects.
