Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,B,C,G

A. Rise slowly when getting up: Finasteride and tamsulosin can cause orthostatic hypotension, making it important for the client to change positions slowly to prevent dizziness and falls.

B. Take medication in the morning: Tamsulosin is typically taken once daily, 30 minutes after the same meal each day, often recommended in the morning to align with the daily routine and reduce the likelihood of missing doses.

C. Erectile dysfunction is common with the prescribed medication: Finasteride may cause sexual side effects such as erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, and ejaculation disorders. It is important to inform the client of these potential side effects.

D. Medication may cause the heart to race: This is not a common side effect of finasteride or tamsulosin. Tamsulosin can cause hypotension, but it does not typically cause tachycardia.

E. Ibuprofen should be taken 2 hours before taking medication: There is no specific interaction that requires timing ibuprofen around these medications.

F. Symptoms should be resolved within 1 week: Improvement in symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with medications like finasteride and tamsulosin typically takes several weeks to months, not just one week.

G. Ensure cane is used when ambulating: Given the client's use of a cane and the potential for orthostatic hypotension, it is crucial to reinforce the use of the cane to prevent falls and ensure safe ambulation.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Assessing papillary reactions to light is important in a neurological assessment but is not the priority in this situation.

B. Measuring and recording abdominal girth is not relevant to the client's current symptoms.

C. Auscultating over the main stem bronchus is the priority action as the client's symptoms suggest potential airway compromise, possibly from inhalation injury or swelling. Early identification and management of airway issues are critical in burn patients.

D. Determining the time of last oral intake is part of a comprehensive assessment but is not the immediate priority when airway compromise is suspected.

Correct Answer is {"dropdown-group-1":"A","dropdown-group-2":"C"}

Explanation

Bladder retention: The client reports increased urinary urgency and frequency, waking at night to void, and instances of incontinence. These symptoms are consistent with bladder retention, where the bladder does not empty completely, often seen in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Overflow incontinence: This type of incontinence occurs when the bladder is full, and small amounts of urine leak out due to an inability to empty the bladder properly, commonly associated with BPH.
