A client has received a dose of atropine to counteract the effects of a cholinergic medication prior

A client has received a dose of atropine to counteract the effects of a cholinergic medication prior to having surgery. On the way to the operating room (OR), the client complains of a sudden feeling of warmth. The client's skin is flushed, warm, and dry. Which nursing action is the most appropriate?
1. Assessing the vital signs and advising the OR that surgery must be delayed for 1 hour.
2. Assessing the client's mental status and vital signs. If normal, document finding and proceed to operating room.
3. Notifying the surgeon of the client's vital signs.
4. Explaining the side effects of atropine to the client.
