What is the rationale for the nurse to include a medication history for a client who has incontinence or another problem with urinary elimination?
The nurse should include a medication history for a client who has incontinence or another problem with urinary elimination because some medications affect urination. Specifically, diuretics increase urine production and some antidepressants, antihypertensives, antihistamines, and over-the-counter cold medicines cause urinary retention.
