Nurses play a critical role in managing BPH by: - Patient Education: Educating patients about BPH, its symptoms, and treatment options. - Medication Management: Ensuring patients understand their medications, potential side effects, and adherence to prescribed treatment plans. - Lifestyle Modifications: Advising on lifestyle changes that can alleviate symptoms, such as reducing fluid intake before bedtime, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, and practicing bladder training. - Monitoring and Support: Regularly monitoring symptoms and providing emotional support to patients dealing with the impact of BPH on their quality of life.
