PROSTATE CANCER NCLEX
EXAM 2025 QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
The nurse is providing a seminar to men regarding screening for prostate cancer.
Which percentage should the nurse present as the 5-year survival rate for prostate
cancer confined to the prostate?
A) 80%
B) 95%
C) 100%
D) 85% - ANSWER✔✔-C) 100%
Rationale:
The 5-year survival rate for prostate cancer confined to the prostate is 100%. It is a
commonly occurring cancer. If the cancer spreads, the survival rate is 95% after 5 years.
,The nurse is preparing a poster on prostate cancer for display at a health fair. Which
information should the nurse include on the poster? SATA
A) Prostate cancer occurs more often in African American men than in Caucasian
American men.
B) Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer among men.
C) Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death in North America
D) Prostate cancer confined to the prostate has a 100% survival rate at 5 years.
E) Prostate cancer incidence is reduced in men who take large amounts of Vitamin A. -
ANSWER✔✔-A, B, C, D
Rationale: Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer among men and is the
second leading cause of death in North America. When confined to the prostate, the 5-
year survival rate is 100%. If the cancer spreads regionally, the survival rate is 95% after
5 years. This disease occurs in African American men at a rate of more than 60% higher
than seen in Caucasian American men. Asian Americans and Native Americans have
the lowest incidence of prostate cancer. Taking large amounts of vitamin A does not
reduce the incidence of prostate cancer.
The nurse is interviewing a client admitted with a diagnosis of prostate cancer and
questions the client regarding his symptoms. Which symptom, if experienced by the
client, supports the diagnosis? SATA
, A) Dysuria
B) Polyuria
C) Nocturia
D) Frequent urination
E) Reduction in urinary stream - ANSWER✔✔-A, C, D, E
Rationale: Dysuria is painful or difficult urination that occurs because of prostatic
cancer. As the tumor grows, it can compress the urethra, leading to urinary obstruction.
The tumor may metastasize directly into the seminal vesicles or bladder or may spread
via the lymphatic and venous systems. Other manifestations of prostate cancer include
hematuria, nocturia, increased urinary frequency, reduction in urinary stream, and
abnormal prostate on digital rectal exam. Polyuria is not a symptom of prostate cancer.
Which screening test is used to detect prostate cancer?
A) Mammography
B) CA 125
C) PSA
D) Sigmoidoscopy - ANSWER✔✔-C) PSA
Rationale: PSA is the screening test for prostate cancer. CA 125 is a tumor marker for
ovarian cancer. Sigmoidoscopy is a screening test for colon cancer. Mammography is a
screening test for ovarian cancer.
