Question 1 of 5
A client asks the nurse for information about reducing risk factors for BPH. Which information should the nurse provide?

Question 3 of 5
A male client with HIV on saquinavir and other antiretrovirals reports increased hunger and thirst but weight loss. Which action should the nurse take?

Question 4 of 5
A client is receiving 30 mg of enoxaparin subcutaneously twice a day. In assessing adverse effects of the medication, which serum laboratory value is most important for the nurse to monitor?
