S. M. is a 68-year old man who is being seen at your clinic for routine health maintenance and health promotion. He reports that he has been feeling very well and has no specific complaints except for some trouble “emptying his bladder.” He had a CBC and chemistry survey completed 1 week before his visit, and the results are as follow: Na 140 mEq/L, K4.2 mEq/L, Cl 100 mEq/L, HCO3 26 mEq/L, BUN 22 mg/dL, creatinine 0.8 mg/dL, glucose 94 mg/dL, RBC 5.2 mm3, WBC 7.4 mm3, Hgb 15.2 g/dL, Hct 46%, platelets 348 mm3. His VS at this visit are 148/88, 82, 16.
1. What can you tell S. M. about his lab work?
While obtaining your nursing history, you discover that there is no family history of cancer or other genitourinary problems. During further questioning you discover that S. M. has had progressive symptoms over the past 6 months, which include the urge to urinate frequently, decreased ability in starting the stream of urine, and decrease in the force of the urinary stream. The health care provider examines S. M. and reports that his prostate is enlarged and gives a tentative diagnosis of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). The health care provider also orders a clean-catch urine and PSA test.
2. S. M. is curious why this condition would affect his urination. What would you teach him?
3. Why were the additional tests of the UA and PSA ordered?
4. What concepts would you include in teaching S. M. to obtain a clean-catch urine specimen for UA?
S. M.’s UA returns with results that are within normal limits (wnl). His PSA is 2.0 ng/mL. The health care provider informs S. M. his blood work was normal. S. M. tells you he still has several questions. What information would you include in answering the following questions?
5. S. M. asks you, “Do I have cancer?”
6. “Will this condition affect my relationship with my wife?” what do you tell him?
7. Before being discharged, the health care provider gives S. M. a prescription for doxazosin (Cardura) with instructions to take 1 mg/dL x 7 days, then 2 mg/dL x 7 days, and then 4 mg/dL thereafter. What type of drug is Cardura, and what are the indications for the use of this drug?
8. What are the most common side effects for this drug class?
9. From a safety standpoint, what information does S. M. need to know about his treatment with Cardura?

Melanie, the director of a day-care facility, read an article in the morning paper about an E. coli outbreak at another day-care center across town. She was especially concerned to read that the outbreak was caused by one of the volunteer parents who had changed a soiled diaper and then helped make the afternoon snack for the children. Melanie and her staff are fully committed to the safety of the children in their care. She is determined to ensure that good personal hygiene is practiced not only by all the adult teachers and caretakers, but also by the children. In just two weeks she will be starting a new program for the children called "Kid's Kitchen." Children ages four and up will be able to help prepare the daily snack. She felt this was the ideal place to start her personal hygiene program. Melanie decided to observe the staff and the children in preparation for the new program. She noted that one staffer, after changing a soiled baby diaper, wiped the changing table with a paper towel. She then washed her hands. This staffer was also scheduled to help the children prepare the afternoon snack. In the restroom, Melanie observed that the children, often in a hurry to get back to playing, forgot to wash their hands after using the toilet unless reminded to do so. She also noticed that a few of the younger children had difficulty reaching the soap, although they could reach the sink. This situation was not helped by the fact that the soap in one of the soap dispensers was low, while the other dispenser was empty. Realizing that both staff and children come in contact with each other throughout the day, she implemented two different personal hygiene programs: one for teachers and caretakers and one for children. What things would you change or fix in this operation? What would you include when designing the personal hygiene programs? How would you introduce this to the staff and to the children?
