ANS: B
A parasympathetic antagonist would block the effects of increased gastric acid, thus managing the patient's severe indigestion.
A sympathetic blocking agent would increase gastric acid and therefore would not be the drug class of choice for a patient with severe indigestion.
A parasympathomimetic agent would mimic the effects of the parasympathetic nervous system, thus increasing gastric acid.
A sympathetic antagonist would increase gastric acid by blocking the effects to lower gastric acid.
