Question 1 of 5
A client is newly diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Which of the following medications used to treat BPH? (Select All That Apply)
Correct Answer: A,B
Rationale: The correct answers are A: Tamsulosin (Flomax) and B: Finasteride (Proscar). Tamsulosin is an alpha-1 adrenergic blocker that helps relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, improving urinary symptoms in BPH. Finasteride inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, reducing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, which shrinks the prostate gland.
Choice C (ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone) is incorrect as they are components of a combined oral contraceptive pill, not indicated for BPH.
Choice D (sildenafil) is used for erectile dysfunction, not BPH.
