-renal failure.

15. Treatments and drugs Surgery :
TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate )
procedure that done to treat enlarged prostate or to evaluate prostate cancer. A TURP is performed by passing a tube into the urethra (the thin tube that urine passes through) and identifying the area where the prostate has grown and is blocking the passage of urine, a condition referred to as benign prostatic hypertrophy, or BPH.
A surgeon threads a narrow instrument (resectoscope) into urethra and uses small cutting tools to scrape away excess prostate tissue.

20. medications Omnic (tamsulasin) 0.4 mg PO OD
Proscar (finasteride) 5 mg PO OD
Gentamycin 80mg IV Q8 2 dose only
Cefroxamine mg PO B.D start from second day post operative.

21. Nursing care plan : Nursing diagnosis:
risk of post operative hemorrhage/blockage of catheter.
Goal:
early detection, prevention & control of hemorrhage.

22. Nursing interventions:
observe for signs/ severity off hemorrhage in the urinary catheter drainage.
Administer/ adjust bladder irrigation as required.
If clot persists, perform manual irrigation.
Record vital signs according to unit protocol.
Report abnormal findings to the doctor.

23. Continuous bladder irrigation

25. Nursing diagnosis:
discomfort due to post operative pain.
Goal:
patient will verbalize & demonstrate non verbal cues that he/she is free from pain.

26. Nursing interventions:
closely observe for any sings & symptoms of pain.
Put the patient in position of optimal comfort that does not compromise the surgery performed.
Provide optimal pain relief by giving prescribed analgesic.
Assess periodically the effectiveness of the analgesic & inform the doctor if it is ineffective.

27. Nursing diagnosis:
The patient has the potential for developing infection at urinary catheter & IV cannula sites.
Goal:
early detection & prevention of complications.

28. Nursing interventions:
observe the sites for the early manifestations of infection
e.g.: pain .redness & swelling.
follow unit policy for care of IV cannula, site & tubing.
administer prescribed antibiotics.
ensure catheter patency, record amount & characteristic of urinary output.

29. nursing diagnosis:
potential for the development of complications of immobility & thromboembolism.
Goal:
for the patient not to develop the complications.

30. Nursing interventions:
prevent pressure over potential areas of deep vein thrombosis.
Use of anti-embolism stocking peri-operatively as prescribed by doctor.
Monitor vital sings for early manifestation.
Ensure early mobilization according to unit protocol.
Administer anti-coagulant therapy as prescribed.
