The nurse is assisting with teaching a 56-year-old office manager who reports engaging in all of the following activities. Which one should the nurse explain most likely increased his risk for developing prostatitis?
a. Drinking three to four martinis each night after work
b. Having sexual intercourse with his wife once a week
c. Sitting for long periods in his office
d. Bowling once a week with the office team
ANS: A
Ways to avert prostatitis are regular and complete emptying of the bladder to prevent urinary tract infection, avoiding excess alcohol (more than 2 to 3 ounces per day—alcohol is a bladder irritant), and avoiding certain high-risk sexual practices. Sitting may play a role in infertility but not necessarily prostatitis. Sexual intercourse with a spouse is not high risk. Bowling and other exercise are not risk factors.
