Two nursing care plans for a patient diagnosed with prostate adenocarcinoma. The first plan addresses the patient's anxiety related to the upcoming transurethral resection of the prostate (turp) surgery. The second plan focuses on impaired urinary elimination due to mechanical obstruction caused by the tumor. Each plan includes a detailed assessment, nursing diagnosis, client goals, interventions, rationales, and evaluation criteria. This case study provides a practical example of nursing care for patients with prostate cancer.
