Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Which of the following medications should the nurse plan to administer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Finasteride. Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that helps reduce the size of the prostate gland in BPH. It works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, which is implicated in prostate enlargement. Danazol (
A) is used for endometriosis and fibrocystic breast disease, not BPH. Fluoxymesterone (
C) and Methyltestosterone (
D) are androgens used for hypogonadism, not BPH. So, the correct choice is B as it directly targets the pathophysiology of BPH.
