Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has benign prostatic hypertrophy and has a new prescription for finasteride. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Decreased libido is an adverse effect of the medication. Finasteride is known to cause sexual side effects such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculatory disorders. This information is crucial for the client to be aware of before starting the medication.
Choice B is incorrect because finasteride actually decreases PSA levels, so they would not increase while taking this medication.
Choice C is incorrect as there is no known interaction between finasteride and grapefruit juice.
Choice D is incorrect because it usually takes several months to see the full effects of finasteride on BPH symptoms, not just one week.
