Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Men who take nitroglycerin should not take sildenafil, because at least 24 hours should elapse between taking nitroglycerin and taking sildenafil. Because sildenafil is associated with the development of NAION, patients with that disorder in one eye should not take sildenafil. Patients with low blood pressure should use caution in taking sildenafil, but it is not contraindicated. Patients who have had an MI in the past 6 months should use caution in taking sildenafil.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Tadalafil should be taken no more than once a day and without regard to meals. Tadalafil has a half-life of 17.5 hours and should not be taken twice a day. Men with moderate renal or hepatic insufficiency should take a reduced dosage. This patient may be confusing the actions of tadalafil and prazosin.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
