A client with erectile dysfunction who had a penile implant inserted has been taught how to identify malfunction of the device
Which of the following if stated by the client as indicative of malfunction would indicate to the nurse that the client has understood the teaching? A) Erosion of penile or urethral tissue
B) Underinflation or bulging of the cylinders during inflation
C) Erosion of scrotal, bowel, or bladder tissue
D) Migration of the cylinders, pump, or reservoir from their intended location
B
Feedback:
Malfunction of the device is characterized by the underinflation, bulging of the cylinders during inflation, and a loss of fluid from the implant. Erosion of penile or urethral tissue occurs due to a midsized implant, pressure, or friction of the implanted cylinders. Erosion of scrotal, bowel, or bladder tissue occurs if an implant with a fluid reservoir is used. Migration of the cylinders, pump, or reservoir from their intended location is accompanied by pain, tenderness, and dysfunction of components that are part of the device.
