Which assessment finding indicates to the nurse that the prescription bethanechol is effective for a client diagnosed with urinary retention?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Bethanechol stimulates bladder contraction, improving urinary retention. Equal urinary output to intake indicates effective bladder emptying. Dribbling, stress incontinence, and xerostomia are less direct indicators.
