Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
While all of these outcomes may be of benefit in the care of this client, the clear priority is safety and ensuring that the client does not engage in any form of sexual activity with a child or adolescent.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) should not be taken more than once daily. Effects are present within 30 minutes of first taking the drug, but this does not mean that the client will necessarily have a continuous erection; erections of more than 6 hours can cause tissue damage.
