Pathophysiological Discussion: Discuss the current disease process at the cellular level (in your own words). Explain why this patient is encountering this particular health deficit. What is the relationship of this current health alteration to the patient’s other medical conditions? Describe the current disease process the patient is encountering etiology, epidemiology, pathophysical mechanism, manifestations and treatment (medical and surgical). Also note the complications that may occur with these treatments and the patient’s overall prognosis. Include appropriate references and use APA format.

ADH II: attach a research article pertaining to diagnosis of patient. Write a summary about the article.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is when your prostate gland is enlarged, it is a common condition in older men, specifically African American men. BPH can cause urinary symptoms such as weak flow of urine, urine retention, trouble starting to urinate. BPH can get worse with age. Researchers do not know the direct cause to what the cause of BPH is, some research has shown that high levels of dihydrotestosterone push the prostate cells to continue to grow. Non modifiable risk factors: age, geography, and genetics. Modifiable risk factors: physical activity, obesity, diabetes, and diet. BPH is diagnosed by digital rectal exam, urine test, blood test, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test. Treatment of BPH depends on the overall health of the patient, age of the patient, and size of the prostate. If symptoms are tolerable the doctor might start off with medications first. Medications that can help treat symptoms of BPH are alpha blockers like tamsulosin, which my patient is prescribed, it relaxes the bladder neck muscles in the prostate. 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, finasteride which shrinks the prostate by preventing hormonal changes that cause the prostate to grow. Invasive procedures for BPH are transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) which is “A lighted scope is inserted into your urethra, and the surgeon removes all but the outer part of the prostate” (Mayo Clinic 2020). Laser therapy “A high-energy laser destroys or removes overgrown prostate tissue” (Mayo Clinic 2020). Laser therapies include ablative & enucleative procedures. My patient currently takes his medication when he is supposed to with help from his caregiver. His BPH is under control. He has never had to get invasive surgery.

1 Tab bid

Medications	Classification	Dose	Route	Freq	Purpose/Mechanism of Action	Significant Side Effects / Adverse Reactions	Nursing Implications
Tamsulosin	Alpha 1 Blockers	0.4 mg					Oral	bid	Purpose Treats men with symptoms of BPH. It can also treat kidney stones MOA Antagonist of alpha 1A adrenoceptors in the prostate.	Lightheadedness, abnormal ejaculation, drowsiness, runny nose, dizziness, decreased amount of semen, weakness, chest pain.	1. Caution should be exercised when administering to patients with sulfa allergy 2. Patient should be screened for prostate cancer before administration of this drug.
Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)	Vitamin C	1,000mg	Daily	Purpose Helps heals wounds, enhances absorption of iron, and support the immune system. MOA Ascorbic acid is reversibly oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid (vitamin c) in the body	Nausea, vomiting, heartburn, stomach cramps, headache, injection site soreness, dizziness.	1. Patients on anticoagulant therapy should not take excessive doses of vitamin C over an extended period of time. 2. Caution should be exercised when administering vitamin C to nursing women.
Enalapril	ACE inhibitor	5 mg	1 Tab q12h	Purpose Inhibits ACE Mechanism of Action Decreases the levels of angiotensin II leading to lower BP.	Headache, blurred vision, mild skin rash, lightheadedness	Avoid getting up to fast from a sitting or lying position. Monitor blood pressure. Monitor renal functions. Avoid potassium sparing diuretics.
Ferrous sulfate	Vitamin Iron	324 mg		1 Tab bid	Purpose Treats and prevents iron deficiency. Mechanism of Action Iron combines with porphyrin and globin chains to form hemoglobin.	Constipation, diarrhea, stomach cramps, dark stool, N/V.	Take on empty stomach. Avoid taking antacids or antibiotics within 2hrs before or after taking drug Stool may be dark
Metformin	Biguanides	500 mg	Purpose Helps control the amount of glucose in your blood. Mechanism of Action Decreases hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization.	Heartburn, N/V, stomach pain, weight loss, constipation, bloating.	Take drug with meals Do not break, chew, crush. Blood sugar should be taken before administration. Renal functions should be monitored for 3-6 months.

Nursing Diagnosis: Identify the top two nursing Diagnoses and expand

Assessment as evident by (AEB) or data collection relative to the nursing diagnosis (Appropriate for chosen diagnosis. Includes objective & Subjective historical data that support actual or risk for nursing diagnosis)

Patient Goal(s)

Statement of purpose for the patient to achieve

Patient Outcome (Should be measurable, attainable, realistic and timed, all criteria should be present and specific to the patient Dx.)

(Must have at least two short term outcomes and two long term outcomes)

Interventions/Implementations (Must have at least four nursing interventions for each outcome written that directly relate to the patient’s goal statement and help to reach the patient outcomes. They should be specific in action, frequency, and contain a rationale.

Evaluation. (Was the outcome met, partially met or not met and why? And is the plan of care revised or continued and new evaluation date/time is set)
