Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has prostate cancer. The nurse should expect the provider to prescribe which of the following medications for this client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Leuprolide. Leuprolide is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist used to treat prostate cancer by suppressing the production of testosterone, which can slow the growth of prostate cancer cells. Finasteride (choice
A) is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor used for benign prostatic hyperplasia, not prostate cancer. Cyclophosphamide (choice
C) is an alkylating agent used for various cancers but not typically for prostate cancer. Tamoxifen (choice
D) is a selective estrogen receptor modulator used for breast cancer, not prostate cancer.
Therefore, Leuprolide is the most appropriate choice for treating prostate cancer in this scenario.
