Which medication should a nurse expect to be prescribed for a client with prostate cancer?

Tamoxifen
Leuprolide
Prednisone
Methotrexate

The correct answer is: Leuprolide

Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that affects the prostate gland in men. It is usually treated with hormone therapy, which aims to reduce the levels of male hormones, especially testosterone, in order to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells. Tamoxifen (A) is used for the treatment of breast cancer and does not have an effect on male hormones. Prednisone (C) is a type of steroid medication and is not typically used in the treatment of prostate cancer. Methotrexate (D) is a chemotherapy drug and is not commonly prescribed for prostate cancer. Leuprolide (B) is a type of hormone therapy that works by decreasing testosterone levels in the body, making it the correct medication for treating prostate cancer.
