Trihexyphenidyl (Artane) is an anticholinergic medication that can cause urinary retention. Therefore, the nurse should report any signs of urinary retention to the healthcare provider. Dry mouth and anorexia are common side effects of the medication, and hypertension is not typically associated with trihexyphenidyl.
