Question 1 1 / 1 pts A 72-year-old male presents to the office for follow-up of several episodes of orthostatic hypotension. After obtaining a review of systems and a digital rectal examination, it also appears that he has benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with lower urinary tract symptoms. The nurse practitioner reviews his recent ultrasound evaluation, which reports a prostate volume of over 40 mL, and the results of the American Urological Association (AUA) symptom index for BPH, which shows his score to be 12. Based on the preceding information and the patient’s desire for noninvasive medical therapy, what management should he be offered? Correct! Finasteride (Proscar). Doxazosin (Cardura). Prazosin (Minipress). Phenoxybenzamine (Dibenzyline). Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor and is recommended for individuals with a prostate volume greater than 40 mL to help decrease its size. Question 2 0 / 1 pts A 58-year-old male has been diagnosed with erectile dysfunction and says that a friend told him about a method that uses a constricting ring around the base of the penis.
