ANS: D
Physostigmine is the drug of choice for treating poisoning from atropine and other drugs that cause muscarinic blockade. Donepezil is used to treat Alzheimer's disease. Edrophonium is used to distinguish between a myasthenic crisis and a cholinesterase inhibitor overdose. Neostigmine does not cross the blood-brain barrier and would not effectively treat this patient's CNS symptoms.
