Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has prostate cancer and a new prescription for leuprolide. The nurse should explain to the client that leuprolide treats prostate cancer by which of the following actions?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Correct Answer: A. Leuprolide decreases the production of testosterone.


Rationale: Prostate cancer is hormone-sensitive, where testosterone fuels cancer growth. Leuprolide is a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist that suppresses the production of testosterone by the testes, thereby inhibiting the growth of prostate cancer cells. By reducing testosterone levels, leuprolide slows down the progression of prostate cancer.

Summary of Other

Choices:
B. Leuprolide kills cells at all stages of cellular division - Incorrect. Leuprolide specifically targets testosterone production and does not directly kill cancer cells.
C. Leuprolide increases estrogen levels in your body to counteract the cancer cells - Incorrect. Leuprolide does not increase estrogen levels; it decreases testosterone levels.
D. Leuprolide suppresses the pituitary gland's production of growth hormone to decrease cancer cellular growth - Incorrect. Leuprolide targets testosterone production, not growth hormone production.
