The nurse is discussing the adverse effects associated with a muscarinic agonist. The nurse knows that reflex tachycardia occurs with this drug because:

1. Baroreceptors acknowledge transient hypotension and signal to the medulla to increase the heart rate.

2. This agent simulates the sinoatrial node in the right atrium.

3. Aortic receptors identify episodes of systolic hypertension and simulate heart rhythms.

4. This agent stimulates bronchial smooth muscle contraction and a narrowing of the airway
