Correct Answer
A, C, D, E
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 more often in
African American men at a rate greater than 60% higher
than those seen in White men. Asians and Native Americans
have the lowest incidence of prostate cancer. Taking large
amounts of vitamin A does not reduce the incidence of
prostate cancer.

B, 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.
The nurse caring for a client with prostate cancer knows that which surgical
treatment might be included in the client's
plan of care?
Urinary bladder transplant
