Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The medication prazosin (Minipress) is an alpha-adrenergic blocker that may cause first-dose phenomenon (severe hypotension and syncope) and tachycardia. When administering this medication to a client diagnosed with BPH, the priority assessment is the client's blood pressure.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

The client is experiencing burning and other difficulties during urination. The burning indicates the client is experiencing pain and would indicate a priority nursing diagnosis of acute pain. There is no evidence of fluid volume overload, fluid volume deficit, or knowledge deficit.
