The nurse prepares to administer benztropine (Cogentin) to the patient. The nurse holds the dose and notifies the doc based on which assessment finding? (Cogentin can cause tachycardia) 1. A respiratory rate of 14 2. A pulse of 102 3. Blood pressure of 115/60 mmHg 4. A temp of 100.2*

The nurse would hold the dose and notify the doctor based on the assessment finding of a pulse of 102, as Cogentin can cause tachycardia (a rapid heart rate), and a pulse of 102 is already higher than normal.

So, the correct answer is option 2.

Explanation:

The nurse would hold the dose of Benztropine (Cogentin) and notify the doctor if the patient's pulse is 102. The reason being, Benztropine (Cogentin) is known to cause tachycardia (an abnormally rapid heart rate), and a pulse of 102 is already higher than the normal range (60 - 100 beats per minute). Administering Cogentin may further increase this heart rate, which could lead to dangerous complications.

A respiratory rate of 14, blood pressure of 115/60 mmHg, and a temperature of 100.2, although may need to be monitored, are not immediate reasons to withhold the medication.

So, the correct answer is option 2.
