Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a patient about the use of sildenafil [Viagra] for erectile dysfunction. Which statement by the patient indicates understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: If my erection lasts longer than 6 hours, I should contact my provider. This statement indicates understanding because a prolonged erection, known as priapism, is a serious side effect of sildenafil that requires immediate medical attention to prevent tissue damage. It shows the patient is aware of the potential risks and knows when to seek help.
Choice A is incorrect because sildenafil doesn't cause erections without sexual stimulation.
Choice C is incorrect as using nitroglycerin with sildenafil can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
Choice D is incorrect because sildenafil should be taken about 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity, not 5 minutes.
