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.
