Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Treatment for BPH includes watchful waiting until the client is symptomatic. Medications that can be beneficial for these symptoms include doxazosin (Cardura), terazosin (Hytrin), tamsulosin (Flomax), and finasteride (Proscar). Prostate size can be reduced by a number of different methods, such as simple prostatectomy (removal of the prostate), transurethral incision, transurethral microwave thermotherapy, and transurethral needle ablation. TURP remains the standard surgical treatment for obstructive BPH. The method selected depends on the client and the preference of the healthcare provider.

Answer to Question 2

B
