Correct Answer: 3

Global Rationale: Finasteride is indicated for the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy. Assessment findings that would indicate therapeutic effectiveness include the ability to initiate a stream of urine. This drug does not relieve painful urination, hematuria, or decrease flow of urine.
