Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The client who receives vasodilating medications, such as Viagra, Cialis, MUSE, Caverject, or Edex, may have a side effect known as priapism (a prolonged, uncomfortable erection lasting for 23 hours or longer). The client should be educated to seek medical interventions for sustained erections lasting 3 to 4 hours.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
An annuloplasty is performed to tighten the ring of tissue around the valve. Structural support repair improves the functioning of chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. Valves can also be repaired or replaced.
