Proactive Nursing Care of Patient with Prostate Biopsy with One Day Surgery
Main Article Content
Abstract
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is frequently found in men and is associated with increasing age. It may develop into prostate cancer, which is the second most common cancer in men. A prostate biopsy is one step in diagnosing prostate cancer. It is considered a minor surgery and typically takes a short amount of time. Patients can usually make a full recovery quickly. Currently, most patients can undergo the surgery and return home on the same day, without the need for hospitalization. Common biopsy methods include MRI fusion prostate biopsy, transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy, and transperineal prostate biopsy. However, complications from a prostate biopsy may include bleeding, blood in the urine, urinary retention, pain, and infection. Therefore, patients undergoing a same-day prostate biopsy should receive proactive nursing care before, during, and after the surgery. This care includes appropriate patient selection involves identifying patients who meet the criteria for the procedure. This includes assessing the risk of complications through both physical and psychological evaluations prior to the procedure. Nurses should also provide guidance on pre-operative preparation and begin planning for discharge early. During the procedure, the nurse monitors for complications and observes the patient's symptoms. Finally, before discharge, the nurse should review and reinforce the discharge instructions with the patient. The goal is to ensure that patients are well-prepared for surgery, monitored for complications, and able to care for themselves at home after the surgery.
