Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Some Alzheimer's and dementia medications can lower the seizure - threshold, so seizure precautions are important. Diarrhea/constipation, joint pain/muscle soreness, and urinary urgency/frequency are not the most characteristic safety - related concerns.
  2. Inhaled asthma medications, especially those containing beta - agonists, can cause a rapid pulse and nervousness. Diarrhea and gas, weakness and fatigue, and frequent urination and urgency are not typical side - effects of asthma inhalers.
  3. Cold medications with antihistamines often cause dry mouth, nose, or throat. Increased appetite, diarrhea or loose stools, and muscle and joint pain are not common side - effects of such combinations.

Answer:

  1. Implement seizure precautions
  2. Rapid pulse and nervousness
  3. Dry mouth, nose, or throat
