A 73-year-old male patient has a urethral obstruction related to prostatic enlargement. The nurse is aware this may result in:
A) A urinary tract infection
B) Enuresis
C) Polyuria
D) Proteinuria
Ans: A
Feedback: An obstruction of the bladder outlet, such as in advanced benign prostatic hyperplasia, results in abnormally high voiding pressure with a slow, prolonged flow of urine. The urine may remain in the bladder, which increases the potential of a urinary tract infection. Older male patients are at risk for prostatic enlargement, which causes urethral obstruction and can result in hydronephrosis, renal failure, and urinary tract infections.
