Answer to Question 1

B
Viagra is contraindicated if the patient is also taking nitrates because the combination can cause significant hypotension. Age, weight, and diabetes are not contraindications for the use of Via-gra.

Answer to Question 2

A
The most important way to prevent recurrence is to take the entire course of antibiotic therapy. Cipro should be taken at least 2 hours prior to an antacid, but this action does not work to prevent recurrence. Cipro does have to be taken with a full glass of water and may be taken on a full or empty stomach.
