Rationale 1: Ipratropium (Atrovent) is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to soy as soya lecithin is used as a propellant in the inhaler.
Rationale 2: Anticholinergic drugs do not impact glucose levels, so having diabetes mellitus is not a concern.
Rationale 3: Anticholinergic drugs do not affect seizure disorders; this is not a concern.
Rationale 4: Anticholinergic drugs are not contraindicated in clients with gout.
