Question 1 of 5
The nurse is describing how oxybutynin exerts its effect to a client receiving it as treatment for overactive bladder. An understanding of which receptor would the nurse integrate into the description?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Muscarinic receptors. Oxybutynin is an anticholinergic medication that works by blocking muscarinic receptors in the bladder muscle, leading to relaxation of the bladder muscle and decreased bladder contractions. This helps to reduce the symptoms of overactive bladder.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because oxybutynin does not primarily act on dopamine, beta adrenergic, or alpha adrenergic receptors. Selecting these receptors would not accurately explain how oxybutynin exerts its therapeutic effect in treating overactive bladder.
