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.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.
