Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anticholinergic drugs can cause urinary retention, making it difficult for patients to completely empty their bladder. This can put them at risk for urinary tract infections and other related complications. The other options (diarrhea, risk for infection, disturbed sleep pattern) are not directly related to anticholinergic drug therapy.
