Nurses play a prominent role in educating patients. This article presents experiences of one certified urology nurse collaborating with a urologist in the initial evaluation of 475 men randomly selected from the community for urinary symptoms or health status work-ups. Referrals to the urologist for further diagnosis and treatment were made for suspicion of prostate cancer, moderate to severe symptoms of prostatism, and microhematuria. The nurse also provided information about treatment options and watchful waiting. Participants showed a strong acceptance of the nurse in performing assessments.
护士在教育患者方面发挥着重要作用。本文介绍了一名认证泌尿外科护士与一名泌尿科医生合作，对从社区中随机选取的475名有泌尿系统症状或进行健康状况检查的男性进行初步评估的经验。因怀疑患有前列腺癌、中度至重度前列腺增生症状以及微量血尿而被转诊至泌尿科医生处进行进一步诊断和治疗。护士还提供了有关治疗方案和观察等待的信息。参与者对护士进行评估表现出强烈的接受度。
