Answer to Question 1

B
The nurse should provide the information that this drug causes ED and leave the door open for the patient. This way the patient knows he has permission to bring the topic up in the future. Repeatedly questioning the patient about sexual functioning is not likely to encourage the nurse-patient relationship. Telling the doctor to change the prescription is overstepping the pa-tient's autonomy.

Answer to Question 2

A
The digital rectal exam and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test are the two main screening methods for prostate cancer. Men should begin discussions about screening for this cancer when they are 50 . The digital rectal exam is less costly than a blood test. The other statements show understanding.
