Discussion Questions

1. What factors in MP’s history would help support a diagnosis of overactive bladder?

2. The clinician prescribes oxybutynin 10 mg (extended-release). What does MP need to know about this drug? 

3. If oxybutynin is ineffective, the clinician could use mirabegron, a beta-3 agonist. What does MP need to know about this new drug?
