Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Finasteride (Proscar) does not relieve painful urination.
Rationale 2: Finasteride (Proscar) would not relieve hematuria.
Rationale 3: 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.
Rationale 4: Finasteride (Proscar) would not decrease the flow of urine.
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.
