B) The client should seek the help of a physician for injecting suppositories.
C) Penile vasodilators are more effective when given with nitroglycerin.
D) Penile vascular surgery is rarely successful.
D
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the client that penile vascular surgery for treating ED rarely produces a successful outcome. Intraurethral suppository drugs have a more localized arteriole-dilating effect than do vasodilators. Intraurethral suppositories can be self-injected by the client without the help of a physician. Use of vasodilators is contraindicated for clients who use nitroglycerin products, because it can cause life-threatening hypotension.
