Congratulations - you have completed MSN Exam for Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy or Hyperplasia (PM).
You scored %%SCORE%% out of %%TOTAL%%.
Your performance has been rated as %%RATING%%
Your answers are highlighted below.
Question 1
What question would be most important to ask a male client who is in for a digital rectal examination?
A
“Do you notice polyuria in the AM?”
B
“Have you noticed a change in tolerance of certain foods in your diet?”
C
“Do you notice any burning with urination or any odor to the urine?”
D
“Have you noticed a change in the force of the urinary system?”
Question 1 Explanation:
This change would be most indicative of a potential complication with (BPH) benign prostate hypertrophy.
Question 2
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is associated with all of the following except:
A
Most effective long term treatment
B
Transfusion rate of 2-4%
C
Retrograde ejaculation in 50% of men
D
Outpatient procedure in most cases
E
Erectile dysfunction in 2%
Question 3
Which of the following is true of laser therapy?
A
May be legally performed in 48 of the 50 US states
B
Laser light exhibits all photons i phase (coherence)
C
The photons travel at right angles (collimation)
D
The photons have varying wavelenghts (polychromicity)
Question 4
What is the relationship between prostate cancer and the condition of an enlarged prostate, also known as BPH?
A
BPH causes prostate cancer
B
BPH is a symptom of prostate cancer
C
BPH and prostate cancer are unrelated
Question 5
Alpha blockers in the treatment of BPH are associated with all of the following except:
A
Improvment in symptoms in 2-3 weeks
B
Side effects of dizziness and fatigue
C
Once daily dosing
D
25% decrease in prostate size
Question 6
Romeo Diaz, age 78, is admitted to the hospital with the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). He is scheduled for a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). It would be inappropriate to include which of the following points in the preoperative teaching?
A
TURP is the most common operation for BPH.
B
Expect bloody urine, which will clear as healing takes place.
C
He will be pain free.
D
Explain the purpose and function of a two-way irrigation system.
Question 6 Explanation:
Surgical interventions involve an experience of pain for the client which can come in varying degrees. Telling the pain that he will be pain free is giving him false reassurance.
Question 7
An eighty five year old man was admitted for surgery for benign prostatic hypertrophy. Preoperatively he was alert, oriented, cooperative, and knowledgeable about his surgery. Several hours after surgery, the evening nurse found him acutely confused, agitated, and trying to climb over the protective side rails on his bed. The most appropriate nursing intervention that will calm an agitated client is
A
position in a bright, busy area.
B
encourage family phone calls.
C
speak soothingly and provide quiet music.
D
limit visits by staff.
Question 7 Explanation:
The client needs frequent visits by the staff to orient him and to assess his safety. Phone calls from his family will not help a client who is trying to climb over the side rails and may even add to his danger. Putting the client in a bright, busy area would probably add to his confusion. The environment is an important factor in the prevention of injuries. Talking softly and providing quiet music have a calming effect on the agitated client.
Question 8
The obstructive and irritative symptom complex caused by benign prostatic hypertrophy is termed
A
prostatectomy.
B
prostatism.
C
prostaglandin.
D
prostatitis.
Question 8 Explanation:
Symptoms of prostatism include increased frequency of urination, nocturia, urgency, dribbling, and a sensation that the bladder has not completely emptied. Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland.Prostaglandins are physiologically active substances present in tissues with vasodilator properties. Prostatectomy refers to the surgical removal of the prostate gland.
Question 9
How common is BPH?
A
10% of men in their 60s
B
30% of men in their 60s
C
50% of men in their 60s
D
90% of men in their 60s
Question 9 Explanation:
Although the prostate continues to grow during most of a man's life, the enlargement doesn't usually cause problems until late in life. BPH rarely causes symptoms before the age of 40, but more than half of men in their 60s, and as many as 90% in their 70s and 80s, have some symptoms of BPH
Question 10
Of the options below, which is NOT a symptom of BPH?
A
Difficulty urinating
B
Sexual dysfunction
C
Urinary incontinence
D
Intestinal pain
Question 10 Explanation:
Recent studies suggest that there is a correlation between lower urinary tract symptoms and sexual dysfunction in aging patients. In fact, the severity of urinary symptoms and the degree of sexual dysfunction are strongly correlated, indepently of age. In particular, community-based studies have found that a significant number of patients with symptomatic BPH have sexual dysfunction.
Question 11
The nurse is administering a psychotropic drug to an elderly client who has history of benign prostatic hypertrophy. It is most important for the nurse to teach this client to:
A
Exercise on a regular basis.
B
Add fiber to his diet.
C
Take the prescribed dose at bedtime.
D
Report incomplete bladder emptying
Question 11 Explanation:
Urinary retention is a common anticholinergic side effect of psychotic medications, and the client with benign prostatic hypertrophy would have increased risk for this problem. Adding fiber to one’s diet and exercising regularly are measures to counteract another anticholinergic effect, constipation. Depending on the specific medication and how it is prescribed, taking the medication at night may or may not be important. However, it would have nothing to do with urinary retention in this client.
Question 12
A client is admitted to the hospital with benign prostatic hyperplasia, the nurse most relevant assessment would be:
A
Perineal edema
B
Flank pain radiating in the groin
C
Urethral discharge
D
Distention of the lower abdomen
Question 12 Explanation:
This indicates that the bladder is distended with urine, therefore palpable.
Question 13
After undergoing a transurethral resection of the prostate to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy, a patient is retuned to the room with continuous bladder irrigation in place. One day later, the patient reports bladder pain. What should the nurse do first?
A
Assess the irrigation catheter for patency and drainage
B
Increase the I.V. flow rate
C
Notify the doctor immediately
D
Administer meperidine (Demerol) as prescribed
Question 13 Explanation:
Although postoperative pain is expected, the nurse should ensure that other factors, such as an obstructed irrigation catheter, aren’t the cause of the pain. After assessing catheter patency, the nurse should administer an analgesic such as meperidine as prescribed. Increasing the I.V. flow rate may worse the pain. Notifying the doctor isn’t necessary unless the pain is severe or unrelieved by the prescribed medication.
