WITH ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
1. Describe how the detrusor muscle contributes to urinary function.
The detrusor muscle filters waste from the blood.
The detrusor muscle regulates the pH of urine.
The detrusor muscle produces hormones related to urine
production.
The detrusor muscle contracts to expel urine and relaxes to
store urine in the bladder.
2. What is the function of the detrusor muscle of the muscularis layer of the
urinary bladder?
anchors urinary bladder to pelvic and pubic bones
provides involuntary control of urine discharge
acts as a funnel to channel urine from the bladder into the urethra
contraction compresses the bladder and expels urine
3. What is the formulation type of Ditropan XL?
Extended release
Sustained release
Immediate release
OROS formulation
4. Describe how desmopressin functions in the treatment of nocturia.
Desmopressin relaxes the bladder muscles to reduce urgency.
Desmopressin is a diuretic that helps increase urine production.
, Desmopressin is an antidiuretic hormone analog that
temporarily decreases urine production.
Desmopressin increases urine output to prevent nocturia.
5. In a patient with an overactive bladder, which treatment would most
likely target the detrusor muscle's activity?
Alpha-blockers
Diuretics
Beta-agonists
Anticholinergics
6. How does Mirabegron treat overactive bladder syndrome?
Mirabegron is a beta-3 adrenergic agonist and causes bladder
relaxation.
Mirabegron is a cholinergic medication that relaxes the detrusor
muscle.
Mirabegron is an anticholinergic medication that relaxes the
detrusor muscle.

what alternative treatment could be considered?
Oxybutynin oral tablets
Mirabegron

dizziness, what should be the immediate recommendation regarding
their activities?
Recommend switching to a different class of medication
immediately.
Encourage the patient to continue with all activities as usual.
