Question 3 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The nurse should expect which of the following findings?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: BPH causes prostate enlargement, obstructing the urethra and leading to difficulty starting urine flow, weak stream, and hesitancy. Painful urination is linked to infections, urge incontinence to overactive bladder, and critically elevated PSA to prostate cancer or other conditions, not necessarily BPH.
