The nurse at a family practice clinic is providing care to a 47-year-old obese patient. The patient states that she realizes that she has put on extra weight but is reluctant to go to any exercise classes. She states that she often has to cross her legs when she sneezes and cannot do any exercises with her legs crossed. The health care provider has prescribed tolterodine (Detrol). What is the rationale for this medication?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Tolterodine is used to improve the tone and tissue in the urethral and vaginal areas. Tolterodine is a medication used to treat overactive bladders by relaxing the bladder muscles, reducing urinary urgency, frequency, and urge incontinence. Improving tone and tissue in the urethral and vaginal areas can help in controlling bladder function. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because tolterodine does not act as an appetite suppressant, facilitate weight loss, or improve blood flow to pelvic muscles to decrease urinary tract infections. The primary mechanism of action of tolterodine is related to bladder muscle relaxation rather than weight loss or blood flow improvement.
