You identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis and explain the implications to patient health: Patient: R.S., 66-year-old AA male, retired bus driver Chief concern: “I could not pee last night, terrible lower-abdominal pain.” History of present illness (3–4 months): Progressive lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS): weak stream, hesitancy, intermittent flow, nocturia ×3–4, sensation of incomplete emptying.
