A client who has just undergone transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) has developed TURP syndrome, according to the healthcare provider. Which findings during the nursing assessment support this diagnosis? (Select all that apply.)

a. confusion
b. hypertension
c. decreased hematocrit
d. hyponatremia
e. hypotension

a. confusion
b. hypertension
c. decreased hematocrit
d. hyponatremia

Rationale:
TURP syndrome occurs when the client absorbs the irrigation fluids during and after surgery. Clinical manifestations are hyponatremia, decreased hematocrit, hypertension, bradycardia, nausea, and confusion. If not treated promptly, TURP syndrome may result in dysrhythmias and/or seizures. Hypotension is not a manifestation of this syndrome.

A client with mild benign prostatic hyperplasia​ (BPH) tells the nurse that he prefers to do things open "naturally" and doesn't​ want to take medication for his condition. He asks her if there are some things he can do to help his BPH without drugs. Which lifestyle changes used in the treatment for BPH would the nurse include in the response to the​ client? (Select all that​ apply.)

a. exercising regularly, including Kegel exercises
b. avoiding drinking fluids within 2 hours of bedtime
c. increasing dietary intake of foods high in potassium
d. reducing stress
e. avoiding alcohol and caffeine

a. exercising regularly, including Kegel exercises
b. avoiding drinking fluids within 2 hours of bedtime
d. reducing stress
e. avoiding alcohol and caffeine

The client has been prescribed dutasteride (Avodart) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Which potential adverse effects would the nurse include in the medication teaching for this medication? (Select all that apply.)

a. Gynecomastia
b. decreased volume of ejaculate
c. decreased libido
d. impotence
e. renal insufficiency

b. decreased volume of ejaculate
c. decreased libido
d. impotence

rationale:
side effects of 5 alpha reductase inhibitors, such as dutasteride (Avodart) and finasteride (Proscar), may include impotence, decreased libido, and decreased volume of ejaculate. Gynecomastia and renal insufficiency are not side effects for these medications.

A client underwent a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) 24 hours ago. The nurse providing care for him would be especially vigilant in observing which complications? (Select all that apply)

a. hemorrhage
b. hypertension
c. hypotension
d. large blood clots
e. decreased urinary output

a. hemorrhage
c. hypotension
d. large blood clots
e. decreased urinary output

rationale:
during the first 24-48 hours after a TURP, the client should be monitored closely for hemorrhage (bloody urine output), the presence of large blood clots, decreased urinary output, increased bladder spasms, decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit, tachycardia, and hypotension. Hypertension would not be an expected complication

A client is admitted to the hospital for elective knee surgery to be performed the following day. The client tells the nurse that he has benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Which assessment findings support the diagnosis of BPH? (Select all that apply).

a. urinary frequency
b. fever
c. elevate white blood cell (WBC) count
d. nocturia
e. increased time to void

a. urinary frequency
d. nocturia
e. increased time to void

rationale:
Clinical manifestations of BPH include weak urinary system, increased time to void, hesitancy, incomplete bladder emptying, post void dribbling, frequency, urgency, incontinence, nocturia, dysuria, and bladder pain. Fever and an elevated WBC count are not signs of BPH.

An older adult client is admitted for a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Which item in the client's health history place him at risk for developing BPH?

a. sedentary lifestyle
b. age
c. smoking history
d. more than one sexual partner

b. age

rationale:
age is the most common risk factor for BPH. Almost all men will develop BPH if they live long enough. There may be a racial component as well, because Black and Hispanic men develop BPH earlier than White men, but Asian men develop it later. Smoking, sexual history, and a sedentary lifestyle are not risk factors for developing BPH.

A client recently diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tells the nurse that the provider told him he can no longer take the decongestant medication he has routinely used for the sniffles. He asks the nurse to explain why he should avoid this medication. The nurse would base the response to the client on which rationale?

a. causes an accelerated growth of the prostate
b. leads to impotence
c. increases risk of bladder cancer
d. causes urinary retention

d. causes urinary retention

rationale:
several classes of meds can precipitate urinary retention in men with BPH, including anticholinergics and over the counter medications for the common cold, such as decongestants. These medications do not lead to impotence, growth of the prostate, or increase the risk of bladder cancer

A client tells the nurse that he has had "problems with the prostate" for many years. Which clinical manifestations experienced by the client would necessitate the need for surgery for BPH? (Select all that apply)

a. nocturia
b. hematuria
c. urinary retention
d. bladder stones
e. renal insufficiency secondary to BPH

b. hematuria
c. urinary retention
d. bladder stones
e. renal insufficiency secondary to BPH

rationale:
candidates for prostate surgery are clients who have urinary retention, hematuria, bladder stones, and renal insufficiency secondary to BPH. Nocturia alone is not a reason to undergo surgery

the nurse is providing discharge instructions to a postoperative client who is being discharged to home with an indwelling urine catheter. Which will the nurse include in the teaching of this client? (Select all that apply).

a. empty the leg bag every 3-4 hours
b. place powder around the bag to prevent odor
c. change from a daytime leg bag to a larger drainage bag at night
d. avoid strapping on the leg bag too tightly
e. place a soft cloth between the leg bag and thigh

a. empty the leg bag every 3-4 hours
c. change from a daytime leg bag to a larger drainage bag at night
d. avoid strapping on the leg bag too tightly
e. place a soft cloth between the leg bag and thigh

rationale:
Changing to a larger bag at night permits gravity drainage and keeps urine from backing up in the bladder. If the leg bag is strapped on too​ tightly, it can impede venous return in the leg. Placing a soft cloth between the bag and the thigh protects the skin and absorbs any wetness. Emptying the leg bag every 3-4 hours prevents overfilling. Powder is not indicated. If there is a strong urine​ smell, this should be reported to the​ urologist, along with changes in urine​ color, urine consistency and​ amount, hematuria, bleeding, or large blood clots.

A client with BPH is scheduled for minimally invasive surgery for his condition. He is not convinced that he really needs this procedure. He asks the nurse, "What's the worst that can happen if I don't have the procedure?" The nurse should base the response on which complications? (Select all that apply).

a. hydronephrosis
b. detrusor hypertrophy
c. hydroureter
d. impotence
e. diverticula

a. hydronephrosis
c. hydroureter
e. diverticula

Rationale:
Several complications may occur if the mass is not reduced in size. The bladder becomes more distended. Diverticula​ (saclike projections of​ mucosa) may appear on the bladder wall. The distention can cause hydroureter​ (distention of the ureter with​ urine) and hydronephrosis​ (accumulation of urine in the renal​ pelvis). These can all result in infection. Detrusor hypertrophy occurs in BPH to try to compensate for increased resistance to urine​ flow, but it is not a complication of the mass. Impotence is not a factor.

The nurse is caring for a client who was recently remarried. He is being discharged today after having undergone prostate surgery. He asks the nurse privately, with some embarrassment, when he can resume sexual intercourse with his wife. Which response by the nurse is the most appropriate?

a. "You can resume sexual activity as soon as the catheter is removed."
b. "You can resume sexual activity immediately."
c ."You can resume sexual activity 6 weeks after surgery."
d. "You can resume sexual activity as soon as you are able to achieve an erection."

c. "You can resume sexual activity 6 weeks after surgery."

Rationale:
In order to prevent bleeding, sexual activity should not be resumed until 6 weeks after surgery. Another teaching point for the client/partner is that after resuming sex, the ejaculate will flow back into the bladder so the client will express little or no semen

The nurse is preparing a client for transurethral needle ablation (TUNA) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). While reviewing the medical record, the nurse notes that which findings support rationale for this surgical procedure for the client? (Select all that apply).

a. it does not cause incontinence
b. it is not expensive
c. it is minimally invasive
d. it does not cause impotence
e. it is easy to perform

a. it does not cause incontinence
c. it is minimally invasive
d. it does not cause impotence

rationale:
The TUNA is a minimally invasive surgery that uses​ low-level radio frequency through twin needles to burn away a region of the enlarged prostate. The urethra is protected by a shield. This procedure improves urine flow through the urethra without causing impotence or incontinence. It is not necessarily easier to perform or less expensive than other procedures.

Which androgen mediates prostatic growth at all ages?

a. testosterone
b. dihydrotestosterone
c. progesterone
d. estrogen

b. dihydrotestosterone

What are risk factors for developing BPH?

a. vasectomy
b. racial background
c. sexual promiscuity
d. the presence of testes
e. age

b. racial background
d. the presence of testes
e. age

What diagnostic tests are used to identify BPH? (Select all that apply).

a. urine specific gravity test
b. digital rectal examination
c. urinalysis
ultrasound or post void catheterization
d. prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level

b. digital rectal examination
c. urinalysis
ultrasound or post void catheterization
d. prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level

rationale:
Urinalysis is done to identify the presence of white and red blood cells or bacteria in the urine. An ultrasound or postvoid catheterization is performed to determine residual urine volume. A PSA test screens for prostate​ cancer, and a digital rectal exam assesses the external surface of the prostate. A urine specific gravity test is not a part of the diagnostic screening for BPH.

Which surgical option for treating BPH utilizes low level radio frequency through twin needles to burn away a region of the enlarged prostate?

a. balloon urethroplasty
b. laser surgery
c. TURP
d. TUNA

d. TUNA

rationale:
TUNA utilizes​ low-level radio frequency through twin needles to burn away a region of the enlarged prostate. TURP is performed with the use of a wire loop resectoscope to remove prostate tissue and perform electrocautery through the urethra. In laser​ surgery, a cystoscope is passed through the urethra and used to vaporize prostatic tissue with short bursts of energy. Balloon urethroplasty is done by inserting a​ balloon-tipped catheter into the urethra and inflating it to widen the narrowed portion.

Which information should the nurse include in the discharge instructions for a client who has undergone prostate surgery? (Select all that apply.)
a. bowel movements
b. clothing restrictions
c. sexual intercourse
d. bleeding
e. activity

a. bowel movements
c. sexual intercourse
d. bleeding
e. activity

rationale:
The nurse should include information about activity—the healing period lasts 4-8 weeks. The client should be informed when to report bleeding to the healthcare provider. Teaching the client how to keep bowel movements regular and soft is important in keeping pressure off the prostate area. The client should be informed to abstain from sexual intercourse for 6 weeks after surgery. There is no specific clothing restriction for the client who has undergone prostate surgery.

Which elements of a health history for a client with BPH may be documented? (Select all that apply).

a. risk factors
b. pain
c. hematuria
d. sexual orientation
e. urinary elimination patterns

a. risk factors
b. pain
c. hematuria
e. urinary elimination patterns

rationale:
the health history should include risk factors, urinary elimination patterns and manifestations, hematuria, and pain. Sexual orientation is not a relevant part of the health history of BPH.

Mr. Tupper is a​ 70-year-old client who just underwent a transurethral resection of the prostate​ (TURP). His catheter was just​ removed, and you are conducting postoperative teaching with him. Which teaching point will you include in the​ session?

a. Burning upon urination and dribbling of urine should be reported to provider
b. Starting and stopping his urine flow several times during each void and performing Kegel exercises
c. Avoiding urinating for as long as possible after catheter removal
d. Regaining control of urination should be almost immediate

b. Starting and stopping his urine flow several times during each void and performing Kegel exercises

The nurse is educating Mr.​ Blane, a​ 68-year-old African American​ client, and his wife about nonpharmacologic therapies they can implement for his mild benign prostatic hyperplasia​ (BPH). Which is an appropriate lifestyle change for the nurse to include in the teaching session with Mr.Blane and his​ wife?

a. Holding urine as long as possible after the first urge to void is felt
b. Avoiding sexual activity
c. Drinking mostly caffeinated beverages
d. Avoiding drinking fluids within 2 hours of bedtime

d. Avoiding drinking fluids within 2 hours of bedtime

John Murphy is a​ 59-year-old white male who is being discharged from the hospital with the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia​ (BPH). Which common signs and symptoms of BPH would the nurse include in the discharge teaching for Mr.​ Murphy?

a. Impotence or inability to sustain an erection
b. Blood and semen in the urine
c. Urinary​ retention, obstruction of urinary​ flow, and hesitancy
d. Swelling of both​ legs, along with discomfort in the pelvic area

c. urinary retention, obstruction or urinary flow, and hesitancy

Which factors increase the risk of developing benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Men with the following factors are more likely to develop benign prostatic hyperplasia:.
age 40 years and older..
family history of benign prostatic hyperplasia..
medical conditions such as obesity, heart and circulatory disease, and type 2 diabetes..
lack of physical exercise..
erectile dysfunction..

What is the most common cause of benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Hormones from the testis may be the main factor. For example, as men age, the amount of active testosterone in the blood declines. Estrogen levels stay the same. BPH may occur when these hormone changes trigger prostate cell growth.

Is smoking a risk factor of benign prostatic hyperplasia?

[ 15 31] Nicotine in cigarettes has been shown to lead to increased DTH level in the prostate and increased sympathetic nervous system activity, contributing greatly to BPH and LUTS.

What hormone causes benign prostatic hyperplasia?

Prostatic enlargement depends on the potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In the prostate gland, type II 5-alpha-reductase metabolizes circulating testosterone into DHT, which works locally, not systemically. DHT binds to androgen receptors in the cell nuclei, potentially resulting in BPH.
