A nurse is conducting a nursing assessment on a patient with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH).
Select all the appropriate clinical presentations and symptoms associated with BPH that the nurse should assess for.

Correct Answer: ["B","D"]

Choice A rationale:

Frequent headaches are not typically associated with BPH.

Headaches may be related to other health issues but are not specific to BPH.

Choice B rationale:

This is a correct choice.

A weak urinary stream is a common clinical presentation and symptom of BPH.

As the prostate gland enlarges, it can obstruct the flow of urine, leading to a weakened stream.

Choice C rationale:

Muscle pain is not a common symptom of BPH.

BPH primarily affects the prostate gland and the urinary system, leading to urinary symptoms, but it does not typically cause muscle pain.

Choice D rationale:

This is a correct choice.

Nocturia, which is the need to urinate frequently during the night, is a common symptom of BPH.

The enlarged prostate can put pressure on the bladder, causing the need to urinate more frequently.

Choice E rationale:

Chest pain is not typically associated with BPH.

Chest pain may indicate cardiac issues or other unrelated medical conditions, but it is not a symptom of BPH.
