John Wong is an 80 year old male of Chinese origin. John’s medical history includes
hypothyroidism and osteoporosis and he smokes 10 cigarettes per day. His gait has
recently been increasingly unstable and he has difficulty with simple tasks, such as
getting up his house stairs and getting up from chairs.
In the last 4 weeks, he has noticed that he has been having difficulty passing urine and
some abdominal discomfort. His GP referred him to a urologist and a prostate biopsy
was taken. This showed BPH (benign prostate hyperplasia) and it was recommended
that he undergo a Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP).
While conducting John’s pre-admission assessment it is noted that John is slightly
hypertensive and is fidgeting and moving around the waiting room. After some education

discomfort he has been experiencing. John tells the nurse that he currently lives alone.
