A 65-year-old African American male client is being evaluated for possible prostate cancer. Which assessment finding would be most significant for the nurse to report to the healthcare provider immediately?
1Hard, fixed nodule palpated during digital rectal examination✓ 정답
2Mild hesitancy when initiating urination
3Slightly elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level at 8.0 ng/mL
4Complaint of occasional nocturia twice per night
해설
A hard, fixed nodule on DRE is highly suspicious for prostate cancer and requires immediate reporting for biopsy. Other symptoms like hesitancy or nocturia are less urgent.
