The client is at risk of developing urinary retention. The client has very high creatinine levels, which shows serious problems with kidney function or probably kidney damage. Tiotropium is a drug used to treat several lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, one of the drug's adverse effects is the retention of urine, painful urination or difficulty in urinating.
