Question 1 of 5
Which statement by the client indicates an understanding of the administration of transdermal oxybutynin?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B. Applying the transdermal oxybutynin patch to the abdomen, hips, or buttocks and changing it every 3 to 4 days ensures proper absorption and effectiveness. Placing the patch on these areas allows for optimal absorption due to the higher blood flow in these regions. Changing the patch every 3 to 4 days helps maintain consistent medication levels.
Explanation of other choices:
A: Applying a new patch every day can lead to overdose and erratic medication levels.
C: Taking the medication orally is incorrect for a transdermal patch.
D: Placing the patch on the chest or upper arms may not provide optimal absorption due to lower blood flow in these areas.
