Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Anticholinergic drugs can increase pressure in the eye; they must be avoided in patients with glaucoma. Anticholinergic drugs are not contraindicated in patients with a hiatal hernia. Anticholinergic drugs are not contraindicated in patients with hyperthyroidism. Anticholinergic drugs are not contraindicated in patients with lung cancer.
