Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
As part of the preoperative preparation for a radical prostatectomy, the nurse should alert the client to the strong possibility of postoperative erectile dysfunction. About 90 of men are impotent after surgery, except those who have the nerve-sparing procedure. The other conditions are not related to prostate surgery.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Early cancer of the prostate does not usually produce symptoms. The first signs of prostatic cancer, if any, typically involve difficulty in voiding, which occurs owing to the position of the prostate gland surrounding the urethra and subsequent obstruction of urethral patency.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
