Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The patient must consult with a health care provider before using a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. People with cardiovascular disorders are particularly susceptible to life-threatening consequences with its use. It is unlikely that a patient will develop physiologic dependence on the medication, although psychological dependence may occur. Phosphodiesterase inhibitors can be a very effective treatment for ED. Phosphodiesterase inhibitors are readily available online and are not expensive.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Longer than 6 to 12 months of treatment may be necessary to assess whether a therapeutic response has been achieved.
