Answer:

grade 3

Explanation:

The grading method for prostate enlargement is done based on the degree to which the prostate encroaches into the rectum. When the prostate encroaches 1-2 cm into the rectum, it is grade 1; when the prostate encroaches >2 cm but < 3 cm into the rectum, it is grade 2, when it encroaches >3 cm but <4 cm into the rectum, it is grade 3 and finally when it encroaches >4 cm into the rectum, it is grade 4.

Therefore, the grade that would be assigned to Herbert’s prostate enlargement is grade 3.

Answer:

Grade 3

Explanation:

Nocturia is called a complaint that the person has to wake up one or more times at night to void(to urinate). A digital rectal exam that allows a doctor to check the lower rectum, pelvis, and lower belly for cancer and other health problems.

The prostate gland surrounds the urethra, the duct which carries urine out of the body.

A grade 3 implies that the glans became larger.This is not cancer, nor does it increase the chance of prostate cancer. An enlarged prostate is often called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Should a mental hospital have the right to medicate, shock, or lobotomize a patient if he is really difficult?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Nope

Explanation:

While a small percentage of people supposedly got better or stayed the same, for many people, lobotomy had negative effects on a patient's personality, initiative, inhibitions, empathy, and ability to function on their own. A 2010 review of eight meta-analyses concluded that, because shock therapy causes persistent and permanent memory loss and a slightly increased risk of death, "its use cannot be scientifically justified." Many recipients voluntarily consent to shock therapy, which is typically given for treatment-resistant depression, and get better. Doing this will basically hurt a patient in the long run and it will definitely ruin mental health and shorten life span; since cases show that they are more succtable to sucide.
