Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Men who use intracavernous injection therapy or tadalafil (Cialis) for erectile dysfunction are at risk for priapism. Substance abuse assessment and blood pressure measurements would be included in any admission process but do not have a direct influence on the sustained erection. Number of sexual partners is not related to the problem.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
It is essential for health care providers to understand the patient and partner's sexual pattern in order to provide appropriate, individualized care. It is premature to suggest marital or psychiatric counseling. Prescribing medications is beyond the nurse's scope of practice.
