Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Finasteride (Proscar) is a medication used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by shrinking the size of the prostate gland. Therefore, the nurse would question the client about their history of BPH. Bladder cancer (A) and testicular cancer (C) are not related to the use of finasteride. Priapism (B) is a side effect associated with the use of medications such as sildenafil and tadalafil, not finasteride.
