BPH NCLEX EXAMCognitive Level: Application Text Reference: p. 1423
Nursing Process: Implementation NCLEX: Physiological Integrity
1. Following a radical retropubic prostatectomy for prostate cancer, the patient is
incontinent of urine. An appropriate nursing intervention for this patient is to
teach the patient
a. pelvic floor muscle training.
b. the use of belladonna and opium suppositories.
c. how to perform intermittent self-catheterization.
d. to restrict oral fluid intake. - ANSWERS-Answer: A
Rationale: Pelvic floor muscle training (Kegel) exercises are recommended to
strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and improve urinary control. Belladonna and
opium suppositories are used to reduce bladder spasms after surgery.
Intermittent self-catheterization may be taught before surgery if the patient has
urinary retention, but it will not be useful in reducing incontinence after surgery.
The patient should have a daily oral intake of 2 to 3 L.

, 2. Following discharge teaching for a patient who has had a transurethral
prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the nurse determines that

b. "I should call the doctor if I have any incontinence at home."
c. "I will avoid heavy lifting or driving until I get approval from my health care
provider."
d. "I should continue to schedule yearly appointments for prostate exams." -
ANSWERS-Answer: B

patient statements indicate that the patient has a good understanding of post-
TURP instructions.
