Answer to Question 1

4
Early screening for prostate cancer includes a digital rectal examination and a PSA test. Other tests may be ordered later if either the PSA or digital rectal examination are abnormal.

Answer to Question 2

2
Cigarettes can elevate levels of C-reactive protein. The nurse should assess the client for smoking. Alcohol and weight loss can falsely lower C-reactive protein levels. Pregnancy status does not affect the C-reactive protein level.
