(74 cards)
Erectile dysfuntion (organic)
due to gradual reduction in function from other sources
Erectile dysfunction (functional)
due to psychologicla cuase such as high stress
risk factors for BPH
increased age
smoking/chronic alcohol use
sedentary lifestyle
western diet
DM/ heart disease
BPH s/s
I-PSS
{determine severity of manifestations and effect on QOL
0-5}
urinary frequency, urgency, hesitancy, or incontinence
urinary stasis and persistent urinary retention
back flow of urine into ureters and kidney
BPH labs
WBC elevated, RBCs decreased
Elevated BUN/creatinine
need prostate-specific antigen to rule out prostate cancer
hematuria
BPH diagnostics
digital rectal exam
Transrectal ultrasound with needle aspiration biopsy
Early prostate cancer antigen
BPH meds
alpha-blocking agents
DHT lowering meds
alpha-blocking agents
tamsulosin
cause relaxation of bladder outlet and prostate gland
decrease pressure on urethra
CLIENT ED
{tachycardia, syncope, posteural hypotension can occur with cimetidine}
DHT lowering meds
- finasteride
- decrease production of testosterone and size of prostate
- can take 6 months to work
- impotence and decrease in libido
- report breast enlargement
Breast Cancer risk factors
- Hx of previous breast cancer
- BRCA1 BRCA2 genes
- Dense breast tissue
- over 65
- first degree relatives
- early menarche
- late menopause
- no pregnancy or first pregnancy after 30
- oral contraceptives
- high-fat, low-fiber diet
- obesity
Breast cancer s/s
- breast pain or sore ness
- painless hard palpable masses on outside region of breast
- skin changes (peau d’orange), dimpling, increase vascularity
- nipple discharge, retraction, or ulceration
when to consider getting BRCA 1 and 2 testing for breast cancer
if two first-degree relatives were diagnosed prior to age of 50 or fhx of breast/ovarian cancer
ovarian ablation
- used for breast cancer
- LH-RH
- leuprolide or goserelin
- inhibits estrogen synthesis
SERMS
- toremifene
- women who are at high risk for breast cancer
- suppress growth of remaining cancer cells postmastectomy or lumpectomy
tamoxifen dangers
- increase the risk of endometrial cancer, DVT, PE
surgical interventions for breast cancer
- lumpectomy (breast-conserving)
- wide excision or partial mastectomy
- total mastectomy
- modified mastectomy
- radial mastectomy
- CLIENT ED:
a) sit with HOB 30 degrees, lie on unaffected side
b) wear sling
c) avoid all usage of affected arm
d) monitor surgical drains
e) drains removed after 1 to 3 weeks
f) watch for lymphedema
Health promotion for Ovarian Cancer
- use of birth control pills and pregnancy
- risk reducing or prophylactic bilateral salpingo–ooporectomy
Ovarian Cancer risk factors
- > 40
- nulliparity or first pregnancy after 30
- DM
- FHX
= endometriosis
= high-fat diet - infertility
S/S Ovarian cancer
- abdominal pain/swelling
adominal discomfort
abdominal mass
vaginal bleeding urianry frequency or incontinence
tumor markers for ovarian cancer
germ cell: hCG, AFP, LDH elevated
epithelial CA-125 elevated
surgical interventions for ovarian cancer info
- Exploratory laprotomy
- TAH with BSO
- nursing actions:
a) observe for urinary retention and difficulty voiding
b) assess bowel sounds - client ed:
a) avoid straining, driving, lifting > 5 lb, sex or vaginal cleaning until provider gives release
b) immediately report evidence of infection, vaginal discharge that is excessive or has a foul odor - complications:

- avoid smoking
Endomerial cancer risk factors
- family history of endometrial or colorectal cancer
- DM
- HNPCC
- nulliparity
- use of tamoxifen
- late menopause
Radiation therapy and endometrial cancer
- brachytherapy: seed in vagina, occur 2 - 10x/week; client must stay in bed during treatment.
client ed:
a) report vaginal bleeding, urethral burning, hematuria, fatigue, diarrhea, fever or abdominal pain
b) no radioactivity between treatments and no visitation restrictions - EBRT: delivered outside, used in combo with surgery, given for 4 to 6 weeks outpatient basis
