A client with overactive bladder starts a new prescription for oxybutynin. When assessing the client prior to medication administration, which finding should the practical nurse (PN) report to the charge nurse?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Oxybutynin works to decrease urinary frequency and urgency. A decreased urinary output could indicate urinary retention, a serious adverse effect that needs to be reported to the charge nurse.
