60. Compare and contrast benign prostate hypertrophy and prostate cancer - Benign Prostate Hypertrophy:
- Subjective: urinary frequency, urgency, hesitancy, straining to urinate, weak stream, intermittent stream, sensation of incomplete emptying, nocturia.
- Objective: a symmetric nontender enlargement; commonly occurs in males beginning in the middle years. Prostate surface feels smooth, rubbery, or firm (like consistency of the nose, with the median sulcus obliterated.
- Prostate Cancer:
- Subjective: frequency, nocturia, hematuria, weak stream, hesitancy, pain or burning on urination; continuous pain in lower back, pelvis, thighs.
- Objective: A malignant neoplasm often starts as a single hard nodule on the posterior surface, producing asymmetry and a change in consistency. As it invades normal tissue, multiple hard nodules appear, or the entire gland feels stone-hard and fixed. Median sulcus is obliterated.
61. Compare and contrast acute and chronic renal failure.
- Acute Renal Failure:
- Occurs sudden when kidneys are unable to filter waste from your blood.
- Develops rapidly over a few hours or few days.
- Most common in already critically ill patients in the ICU
- SOB, fatigue, confusion, nausea, seizures, fluid retention, drowsiness, decreased urine output.
- Chronic Renal Failure:
- Gradual loss of kidney function.
- Once in advanced stage, electrolytes, high levels of fluid, and wastes can build up in in body.
- Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue and weakness, sleep problems, changes with how one urinates, muscle twitches/cramps, hypertension (hard to control), SOB if fluid levels continue to build up in lungs.
