Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Bethanechol is used to increase the tone of the detrusor muscle and increase bladder tone to stimulate urination. It stimulates the parasympathetic nerves. It tones the smooth muscles of the urinary tract. It does not alleviate dysuria.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Detrol is used to treat an overactive bladder. Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and flavoxate (Urispas) are used to relax uterine smooth muscle. Phenazopyridine HCl (Pyridium) is used to alleviate the pain and burning sensation during urination that is experienced with chronic cystitis.
