Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Urinary calculi, probably located in the ureter: Ureteral stones may cause flank pain or hematuria, but symptoms like urgency and cloudy urine are more indicative of infection.

B. Cystitis, probably from bacterial contamination: The symptoms of urgency, frequency, suprapubic pain, and dark, cloudy urine strongly suggest bacterial cystitis (UTI).

C. Kidney infection, most likely pyelonephritis: Pyelonephritis typically presents with systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, and flank pain, which are not described here.

D. Interstitial cystitis (although rare in a male patient): Interstitial cystitis is a chronic condition that is not usually associated with cloudy urine or bacterial contamination.

A. Decreases the urge to void. B. Acidifies urine C. Prevents urinary retention. D. Restores bladder tone and function.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Decreases the urge to void: Tolterodine (Detrol) is an anticholinergic medication used to treat overactive bladder by reducing bladder contractions, thereby decreasing the urge to void.

B. Acidifies urine: Tolterodine does not alter urine pH. Medications like ascorbic acid are used to acidify urine.

C. Prevents urinary retention: Tolterodine can actually cause or exacerbate urinary retention as a side effect.

D. Restores bladder tone and function: Tolterodine does not restore bladder tone but works by relaxing the bladder muscles to reduce urinary urgency and frequency.
