Which of the following is not a side effect of the cholinoreceptor blocker (Atropine)?

  • A. Increased pulse
  • B. Diarrhea
  • C. Constipation
  • D. Mydriasis
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Diarrhea. Atropine, a cholinoreceptor blocker, inhibits acetylcholine, causing decreased GI motility leading to constipation. Atropine also increases pulse rate due to reduced vagal tone (A). It causes mydriasis by blocking cholinergic receptors in the eye (D). Diarrhea is not a typical side effect of atropine due to its anticholinergic properties.
