A Case Study on Progressive Prostatitis and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Mr. Whipple is a 52-year-old male with no history of significant illness, nor disease. He weighs 95.25 kg and is 5 feet and 4 inches in height. Current vital signs are: BP- 156/97, respirations- 19 breaths/per minute, oxygen saturation- 95% on room air, temperature- 98.4 F (oral), and pulse of 89 beats/per minute, regular rhythm. Mr. Whipple has had three urinary tract infections (UTI) within the past 8 months. He also has pain with inflammation of the prostate gland during sexual intimacy with his wife. The identified organism that was isolated and found to be the cause of the UTI was Escherichia coli. Mr. Whipple has noticed that over the course of 10 months, his urinary pattern has changed. His urinary stream is narrow. He also complains of bladder pressure while voiding. After voiding, he still feels like his bladder is full. An annual physical reveals a PSA level of 4.1 ng/mL and a DRE finding reveals a tender prostate gland that is both rubbery and large in size.

  1. Upon review of the Mr. Whipple’s clinical presentation, what condition(s) are these findings consistent with? Provide diagnostic, laboratory, and assessment evidence from the literature that support your nursing assessment.
  2. Explain the indicated nursing interventions necessary to rule-out any potential health problems the patient may have.
  3. Develop three nursing diagnostic statements that address the health problems and prioritize them based on the immediacy of your interventions as Mr. Whipple’s registered nurse.
