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

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

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

PSA test.

(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?
