Question 1 of 5
A patient prescribed dutasteride 2 weeks ago presents with continued complaints of urinary hesitancy. Which action is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Dutasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, takes up to 1 month or more to reduce prostate size and improve urinary symptoms like hesitancy. After only 2 weeks, continued symptoms are expected, so documenting and educating the patient (not escalating dose, testing urine, or examining prostate) is most appropriate, making option D correct.

He does not monitor his BP and his reading today is 197/86. Reports he drinks a 12 pack of beer daily. He reports an allergy to ‘Sulfa’ drugs breaking out in a miserable rash. You do a urine dip in the office and note it is positive for 1+ glucose and protein. Based on these findings you suspect the patient has undiagnosed diabetes type 2.
