1.Assessment Data/ Defining Characteristics (Signs and symptoms supporting the chosen nursing diagnosis)

2.Client Outcomes (SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time specific)

3.Nursing Interventions (Nursing initiated actions based on the medical plan of care and client outcomes)

4.Rationale/Evidence Based (Reasons why each intervention is expected to work; connect to nursing theory, pathophysiology, and write down where you your information from.

Answer the following questions .

1. Pathophysiology of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
2. Trans Urethral Prostate Resection (TURP) surgery procedure and post op guidelines
3. Research acute complications of TURP surgery
4. Review signs and symptoms of an enlarged prostate; identify populations that are high risk.
5. Apply person and family centered care to the consent process; how can family be involved?
