Basic Nursing Care Needs of the Patient PPT Questions
Question 1 of 5
_________ is a disorder in which the prostate becomes enlarged and causes problems with urination.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland, leading to urinary symptoms like frequent urination, difficulty starting or maintaining a urine stream. Genital herpes (A) is a sexually transmitted infection causing sores in the genital area. Erectile dysfunction (B) is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection. Prostate cancer (C) is a malignant tumor in the prostate gland, which may not always cause urinary symptoms. Therefore, based on the symptoms described in the question, BPH is the most appropriate choice.

Breakthrough (C) typically refers to a sudden development or improvement, not the disappearance of cancer signs.
