The health care provider orders a blood test for prostate-
specific antigen
, (PSA) when an enlarged prostate is palpated during a routine
examination of a 56-year-old man. When the patient asks the
nurse the purpose of the test, the nurse's response is based on
the knowledge that
a. elevated levels of PSA are indicative of metastatic cancer of
the prostate.
b. PSA testing is the "gold standard" for making a diagnosis of
prostate cancer.
c. baseline PSA levels are necessary to determine whether
treatment is effective.
d. PSA levels are usually elevated in patients with cancer of the
prostate. -
ANSWER -Answer: D
Rationale: PSA levels are usually elevated above the normal in
patients with prostate cancer. PSA testing does not determine
whether metastasis has occurred. A biopsy of the prostate is
needed for a definitive diagnosis of prostate cancer. Success of
treatment is determined by a fall in PSA to an undetectable
level; the patient's baseline PSA is not needed to determine the
success of treatment.
