PROSTATE CANCER NCLEX Latest
Questions and Graded 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%
Ans: 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

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.
Ans: 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
Up to Date Content
, Comprehensive Study 3 Up to Date Content
Ans: 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
Ans: 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.
The nurse is evaluating the laboratory results of a client's
elevated PSA test. Which statement regarding the PSA test
should the nurse consider SATA
A) Clients with a normal PSA may have prostate cancer
B) An elevated PSA may indicate prostatitis
C) Fluctuating PSA test results strongly indicate prostate
cancer
