Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medication history of a client who reports urinary retention. The nurse should recognize that which of the following medications can cause this adverse reaction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Scopolamine. Scopolamine is an anticholinergic medication that can cause urinary retention by inhibiting the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to decreased bladder contraction. Donepezil (
A) is a cholinesterase inhibitor used for Alzheimer's disease and does not typically cause urinary retention. Metoprolol (
C) is a beta-blocker used for hypertension and does not have a direct effect on urinary retention. Acetaminophen (
D) is an analgesic and antipyretic medication that does not affect urinary retention. In summary, Scopolamine is the correct answer because it has anticholinergic properties that can lead to urinary retention, while the other medications do not typically cause this adverse reaction.
