Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Sildenafil is typically taken as needed, not twice per day.

Choice B rationale:

Constipation is not a common adverse effect of sildenafil.

Choice C rationale:

Changing positions slowly after taking the medication is not related to sildenafil's mechanism of action.

Choice D rationale:

Sildenafil is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction. Temporary visual changes, often described as a blue-green tinge or increased light sensitivity, are potential side effects of sildenafil due to its effect on the retinal enzyme.

A. "My child should not receive the vaccine if she is allergic to eggs." B. "There is a series of three doses of the vaccine that my child will receive." C. "My child should not take aspirin for 6 weeks following vaccination." D. "The vaccine will be injected into the muscle of my child's upper arm."

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Allergic reactions to eggs are a concern with some vaccines, but the varicella vaccine is generally considered safe for children with egg allergies.

Choice B rationale:

The varicella vaccine is typically given in two doses, not three. Choice C rationale:

Children should avoid taking aspirin for about 6 weeks after receiving the varicella vaccine to reduce the risk of Reye's syndrome, a rare but serious condition associated with aspirin use during viral infections.

Choice D rationale:

The varicella vaccine is usually administered subcutaneously, not into the muscle.
