Dr. Smith has two patients, one of whom has elevated blood PSA. Adigital exam reveals that both patient 1 and patient 2 have enlargedprostate glands. Patient 1’s enlarged prostate has the same shape asa smaller prostate, except that it is larger than normal, with a smoothcontour. Patient 2’s prostate is enlarged and asymmetrical, with arough contour. In what way are these patients’ lives probably beingaffected by their enlarged prostates? Explain how the doctor was ableto conclude that one of the patients is likely to have prostate cancer.
Mr. Dunn is a 62-year-old male who has complained of frequent urination and difficulty initiating the flow. Digital palpation of the prostate revealed a nodular growth.

The healthcare provider has recommended a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). 1.Discuss the significance of Mr. Dunn’s elevated PSA and digital rectal examination. 2. List reasons why the healthcare provider might have recommended the (TURP) to Mr. Dunn. 3. After the TURP procedure has been completed, Mr. Dunn is returned to his hospital room with continuous bladder irrigation. What things would present an urgent need to stop the bladder irrigation
