A nurse is caring for a client who is having difficulty voiding following surgery. The nurse notes palpable bladder distention. Which of the following medications should the nurse anticipate administering to the client?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Furosemide is a diuretic that promotes urine production but is not indicated for treating bladder distention or urinary retention post-surgery. B. Lorazepam is an anxiolytic medication and does not address urinary retention or bladder distention. C. Bethanechol is a cholinergic agent that stimulates bladder contraction and is used to treat urinary retention. It helps to facilitate voiding in clients who have difficulty. D. Atropine is an anticholinergic medication that can actually inhibit bladder contraction, making it inappropriate for this situation.
