A female client starts a new prescription, oxybutynin, for symptoms of an overactive bladder. The client tells the nurse that she is training to run a half-marathon. Which instruction should the nurse emphasize?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
OxybutyninÔÇÖs anticholinergic effects reduce sweating, increasing dehydration and overheating risks during marathon training. Emphasizing hydration and heat precautions is critical to prevent complications. Bruising, infections, or sun injury are less relevant concerns.
