A nurse is teaching a male client who has erectile dysfunction and a new prescription for sildenafil. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

"Take this medication twice per day."

"Constipation is a common adverse effect of this medication."

"Change positions slowly after taking this medication."

"You should expect temporary visual changes while taking this medication."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

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.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Increased serum amylase is a common finding in acute pancreatitis, and its decrease would be a positive sign. However, lipase is a more specific marker for pancreatic injury.

Choice B rationale:

Increased C-reactive protein is a marker of inflammation and would not necessarily indicate improvement in pancreatitis.

Choice C rationale:

Decreased serum lipase indicates improvement in the pancreatic injury and is a positive sign.

Choice D rationale:

Decreased platelets would not specifically indicate improvement in acute pancreatitis.

A. Chlamydia is treated using antiviral medications. B. Clients can resume intercourse once treatment has started. C. A chlamydia infection is often asymptomatic in female clients. D. Female clients who are at risk for chlamydia should be screened every 2 years.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Chlamydia is a bacterial infection, so it is treated with antibiotics, not antiviral medications.

Choice B rationale:

Clients should abstain from sexual intercourse until the treatment course is completed to prevent transmission.

Choice C rationale:

Chlamydia infections are often asymptomatic in both males and females, which can lead to undiagnosed and untreated infections. Routine screening is important to detect and treat infections early.

Choice D rationale:

The recommended frequency for chlamydia screening in female clients at risk is annually, not every 2 years.
