Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Avanafil (Stendra), the newest PDE5 inhibitor, is a fast-acting and highly selective member of the class with a peak in 30 minutes. Cialis and Levitra have longer onsets of action and peaks. Alprostadil (Caverject) is not a PDE5 inhibitor.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
If octreotide is taken at home, the home care nurse may need to teach the patient or a caregiver how to administer subcutaneous injections; this drug is not available orally. The patient should limit the intake of fiber. The patient would not be administered bismuth subsalicylate with octreotide. The patient would not be administered morphine to decrease pain related to diarrhea.
