38
What is BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia)?
As an adult male ages, the prostate gland enlarges. When the enlargement of the gland begins to cause urinary dysfunction, it is called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a very common condition of the older adult male
39
BPH Risk Factors
- increased age - smoking, chronic alcohol use - sedentary lifestyle, obesity - western diet (high fat, protein, carbs; low fiber) - diabetes mellitus, heart disease
40
BPH expected findings
- urinary frequency, urgency, hesitancy or incontinence - incomplete emptying of the bladder - dribbling post-voiding - nocturia - diminished force of urinary stream - straining with urination - hematuria - urinary stasis and persistent urinary retention leads to frequent UTI's - If BPH persists, back flow of urine into the ureters and kidney can lead to kidney damage
41
BPH Patient Centered Care
- frequent ejaculation releases retained prostatic fluids, thereby decreasing the size of the prostate - tell the client to avoid drinking large amounts of fluids one time, and to urinate when the urge is initially felt - avoid bladder stimulates, such as caffeine and alcohol - avoid medications that cause decreased bladder tone, such as anticholinergics, decongestants, and antihistamines - medication is used for conservative treatment of BPH
42
BPH Medications
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-lowering medications (like finasteride) - finasteride is TERATOGENIC TO A MALE FETUS - women who are pregnant or who could become pregnant should avoid contact with tablets that are crushed or broken and with the semen of a client currently taking this medication Alpha-blocking agents: tamulosin - orthostatic hypotension can occur - concurrent use w/cimetidine canpotentiate the hypotensive effect
43
BPH Surgical procedure: Postoperative nursing actions:
Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP): - postop treatment for a TURP usually includes placement of an indwelling three-way catheter - if the catheter becomes obstructed (bladder spasms, reduced irrigation outflow), turn off the CBI and irrigate with 50 mL irrigation solution using a large piston syringe or per facility or surgeon protocol - monitor for bleeding (persistent bright-red bleeding unresponsive to increase in CBI and traction on the catheter or reduced HGB levels) and report to the provider
44
BPH Surgical Procedure: Administer Medications PostOp
- analgesics (surgical manipulation or incisional discomfort) - antispasmodics (bladder spasms) - antibiotics (prophylaxis) - stool softeners (avoid straining)
45
BPH Surgical Procedure client education
tell the client to avoid nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications due to increased risk for bleeding, also avoid anticholinergic meds like antihistamines b/c of urinary retention
46
Menopause Assessment/Expected Findings
hot flashes and irregular menses, decreased vaginal secretions, decreased HDL and increased LDL, decreased skin elasticity, loss of hair on the head and pubic area
47
Menopause Medication
Menopausal hormone therapy (HT) | -HT places women at risk for a number of adverse conditions, Coronary heart disease, MI, DVT, Stroke, breast cancer
48
Menopause Medication Client Education
- no smoking - teach client how to prevent and assess the development of venous thrombosis: - avoid wearing knee-high stockings and clothing or socks that are restrictive - take short walks throughout day to promote circulation - not and report manifestations of unilateral leg pain, edema, warmth, and redness - oral medications cause nausea, so take with food - avoid using vaginal creams or suppositories of estrogen compounds prior to intercourse b/c partner can absorb some of the product - atrophic vaginitis S/S: vaginal bleeding and burning, pruritus, and painful intercourse, can improve with HT
49
Menopause Client Education for Older Adults
-can decrease the risk of osteoporosis by performing regular weight-bearing exercises, increase intake of high protein and high calcium foods, avoid alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco, and take calcium with vitamin D supplements
50
Menopause alternative therapies
- black cohosh, ginseng, and red clover help relieve the effects of menopause. - Vitamins E and B6 are reported to decrease hot flashes in some women - Phytoestrogens interact with estrogen receptors in the body, which can result in a decrease in the manifestations of menopause. Vegetables such as, dandelion greens, alfalfa sprouts, black beans, and soy beans contain phytoestrogens.
51
Fibrocystic breast condition risk factors
premenopausal status and postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy
52
Fibrocystic breast condition expected findings
breast pain, tender lumps, commonly in upper, outer quadrant
53
Fibrocystic breast condition Nursing Care
- suggest that the client reduce the intake of salt before menses, wear a supportive bra, and apply either local heat or cold to temporarily reduce pain - condition DOES NOT increase risk of breast cancer
54
Fibrocystic breast condition Medications
- OTC analgesics like acetaminophen or ibuprofen - oral contraceptives or hormonal medication therapy if manifestations are severe to suppress estrogen/progesterone secretion - diuretics to decrease breast engorgement - decrease caffeine - vitamin E helps with pain
55
What is Cystocele?
is a protrusion of the POSTERIOR bladder through the anterior vaginal wall. It is caused by weakened pelvic muscles and/or structures
56
Cystocele risk factors
- obesity - advanced age (loss of estrogen) - family history - multiparity - increased abdominal pressure during pregnancy - strain and injury during vaginal childbirth
57
Cystocele Expected Findings
- urinary frequency and/or urgency - stress incontinence - history of frequent urinary tract infections - sense of vaginal fullness - dyspareunia - fatigue - back and pelvic pain
58
Cystocele specific therapeutic procedure
Anterior colporrhaphy: using a vaginal or laparoscopic approach, the pelvic muscles are shortened and tightened, resulting in increased bladder support
59
What is Rectocele?
is a protrusion of the ANTERIOR rectal wall through the posterior vaginal wall. It is caused by a defect of the pelvic structures, a difficult delivery, or a forceps delivery.
60
Rectocele risk factors
- pelvic structure defects - obesity - aging - constipation - family history - difficult vaginal childbirth necessitating repair of a tear
61
Rectocele expected findings
- constipation and/or the need to place fingers in the vagina to elevate the rectocele to complete evacuation of feces - Sensation of a mass in the vagina - pelvic/rectal pressure or pain - dyspareunia - fecal incontinence - uncontrollable flatus - hemorrhoids
62
Rectocele specific therapeutic procedure
posterior colporrhaphy: using a vaginal/perineal approach, the pelvic muscles are shortened and tightened, resulting in a reduction of rectal protrusion into the vaginal canal
63
Cystocele and Rectocele therapeutic procedures
Kegal exercises, anterior-posterior repair, hysterectomy
64
Cystocele and Rectocele Client Education
- instruct the client to notify the provider about indications of infection (elevated temperature, pulse, or respirations; foul-smelling or purulent vaginal discharge; or consistent pain) - posto: avoid strenuous activity, lifting anything weighing greater than 5 lb, and sexual intercourse for 6 weeks
