Problem
a) Address the priorities and the approach you would use to care for and to educate a 46-year-old male patient and his wife from the Middle East about self-care management priorities after undergoing surgery for prostate cancer. How will your priorities and approach to care and patient education integrate cultural considerations into essential information required for effective self-care management for discharge?
b) A 78-year-old male patient who has a history of myocardial infarction with quadruple bypass surgery, hypertension, and type II diabetes is diagnosed with cancer of the penis. What evidence-based information would you provide to the patient and his spouse to assist in preventing postoperative complications during the recovery period? Identify the evidence for and the criteria used to evaluate the strength of the evidence for the nursing care identified.
c) Your patient is a 28-year-old man diagnosed with testicular cancer. You are providing education for the patient and his spouse about the treatment and management of his pre- and postoperative care. The patient asks you about infertility and requests information on sperm banking. Which members of the interdisciplinary health team would you consult to provide this patient with the requested information on sperm banking?
