◉ Genital Warts (Condylomata Acuminata).
Answer: -Single or multiple papules or plaques of variable shapes;
may be round, acuminate (pointed), or thin and slender. May be
raised, flat, or cauliflower-like (verrucous).
-Causative organism: HPV, usually subtypes 6, 11; carcinogenic
subtypes rare, approximately 5-10% of all anogenital warts.
Incubation: weeks to months; infected contact may have no visible
warts.
-Can arise on penis, scrotum, groin, thighs, anus; usually
asymptomatic, occasionally cause itching and pain.
-May disappear without treatment.
◉ Risk for prostate CA.
Answer: Age, ethnicity, and family history are the strongest risk
factors for prostate cancer.
◉ s/s prostatitis.
Answer: -fever
-frequency, urgency, dysuria, incomplete voiding,
, -sometimes low back pain
- gland feels tender, swollen, "boggy," and warm
◉ s/s BPH.
Answer: - irritative (urgency, frequency, nocturia),
-obstructive (decreased stream, incomplete emptying, straining), or
both,
- gland may be normal in size, or may feel symmetrically enlarged,
smooth, and firm, though slightly elastic; there may be obliteration
of the median sulcus and more notable protrusion into the rectal
lumen.
◉ Measuring a pregnant uterus.
Answer: With a plastic or paper tape measure, locate the pubic
symphysis and place the "zero" end of the tape measure where you
can firmly feel that bone (Fig. 19-12). Then extend the tape measure
to the very top of uterine fundus and note the number of
centimeters measured.
◉ s/s gestational HTN.
Answer: systolic blood pressure (SBP) >140 mm Hg or diastolic
blood pressure (DBP) >90 mm Hg first documented after 20 weeks,
without proteinuria or preeclampsia, that resolves by 12 weeks
postpartum.
