The nurse plans medication education for a client who receives a prescription for sildenafil (Viagra). What will the best plan by the nurse include?
 
  1. Grapefruit juice will decrease the effects of sildenafil (Viagra).
  2. You can take sildenafil (Viagra) anywhere from 1 to 6 hours before sex.
  3. Be sure to take only one pill in a 24-hour period.
  4. Sildenafil (Viagra) should be taken with food.

Question 2

A male client is considered infertile. He asks the nurse why drug companies aren't developing drugs to treat this problem. What is the best response by the nurse?
 
  1. It's difficult because the medications have many side effects that men do not like.
  2. It's difficult because about 25 of infertile men also have erectile dysfunction.
  3. It's difficult because only about 5 of infertile men have an endocrine problem.
  4. It's difficult because many men do not want to even admit they have a problem.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Grapefruit juice can lead to increased, not decreased, levels of sildenafil (Viagra).
Rationale 2: The optimum time for administration is 1 hour before sex, but it can be taken up to 4 hours before sex.
Rationale 3: Taking only one pill in a 24-hour period is the recommended dosing for sildenafil (Viagra).
Rationale 4: Sildenafil (Viagra) should be taken on an empty stomach, not with food.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: All medications have side effects, but if they were successful in treating infertility, men would use them.
Rationale 2: Erectile dysfunction is not considered a prominent problem in male infertility.
Rationale 3: Drug therapy for male infertility is not as successful as fertility pharmacotherapy for women, because only about 5 of infertile males have an endocrine disorder, which would be more treatable.
Rationale 4: Men are willing to admit to a problem, but male infertility is difficult to treat.
