Question:
When palpating the prostate gland during the rectal exam, the prostate feels tender, swollen, “boggy,” and
warm. This finding is consistent with:
a normal prostate gland.
acute bacterial prostatitis. Correct
benign prostatic hyperplasia.
carcinoma of the prostate.
Explanation:
The prostate gland feels tender, swollen, “boggy,” and warm in patients who have acute bacterial
prostatitis. As palpated through the anterior rectal wall, the normal prostate is a rounded, heart-shaped
structure, somewhat rubbery and nontender. It measures approximately 2.5 cm long. In a patient with
benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the gland feels enlarged and increases with age. BPH is present in
more than 50% of men by 50 years of age. Carcinoma of the prostate gland is suggested by an area of
hardness in the gland. A distinct hard nodule that alters the contour of the gland may or may not be
palpable. However, as the cancer enlarges, the prostate feels irregular and may extend beyond the
confines of the gland.
Question:
A 31-year-old man with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection states that he has been having
urinary frequency, hesitancy, fever, and nocturia. Considering his medical history, he should be evaluated
for:
a varicocele.
benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).
prostatitis. Correct
urolithiasis.
Explanation:
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is an autoimmune deficiency virus that predisposes men to
bacterial infections such as prostatitis. Symptoms include urinary frequency, hesitancy, burning, nocturia,
and fevers. Most men with varicocele have no symptoms. Benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) is age-
associated prostate enlargement without signs of initial infection or fever symptoms. Urolithiasis involves
a sharp pain during urination, along with nausea, hematuria, and acute abdominal pain.
Question:
A 30-year-old man who has a history of heart disease will present with which symptom related to the
development of arteriosclerosis?
Hypogonadism
Erectile dysfunction Correct
Enlarged prostate
Urinary incontinence
