Question

a client who has a cold is seen in the emergency department with an inability to void. because the client has a history of benign prostatic hyperplasia, the nurse determines that the client would be questioned about the use of which medication? 1 diuretics 2 antibiotics 3 antilipemics 4 decongestants rationale, strategy, reference, tip

Explanation:

Decongestants can cause urinary retention in clients with benign prostatic hyperplasia due to their alpha - adrenergic stimulating effects which can increase urethral resistance. Diuretics increase urine output, antibiotics treat infections, and antilipemics manage lipid levels and do not typically cause urinary retention in this context.

Answer:

1. Decongestants
