Correct Answer:
The client does not have to strain to begin urination.
Rationale:
✔Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) often causes urinary hesitancy, straining, and incomplete bladder emptying.
✔The most direct indication that treatment is effective is that the client can begin urinating without straining.
✔ A creatinine level of 1.0 mg/dL is normal but nonspecific to BPH treatment outcomes.
✔A urine output of 35 mL/hr is low, and passing stool is unrelated to urinary tract function.
