Question 2

The nurse is caring for a male patient whose wife is visiting. The patient has gone to radiology for an x-ray film.
 
  The wife says to the nurse, I'm going to take some of my husband's sildenafil (Viagra). Since it helped him so much, I think it will help me, too. What is the nurse's most appropriate response?
  a. This drug has proven harmful for women. You should not take it.
  b. Studies show that this drug does not help women with sexual arousal.
  c. I encourage you to try it. Some women have benefited significantly from it.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Doses should be reduced in men older than 65 who have hepatic impairment.
Nothing indicates a need for a reduction in dose for men who have major depression, osteoarthritis, or primary hypertension.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Sildenafil is not approved for use in women and has failed to show much enhancement of sexual arousal.
Sildenafil has not proven to be harmful to women.
Sildenafil is not approved for use in women, and the nurse should not encourage its use.
The nurse should not advise a more natural approach, because this is a very vague response.
