A) Restrict dietary intake of fish and other seafood.
B) Avoid administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
C) Instruct the client about the special squeeze technique.
D) Inform the client about the surgery to remove the scar tissue.
D
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the client about the surgery for removing the accumulated scar tissue. Fish and seafood are rich sources of vitamin E, which should be included in the client's diet. The nurse should provide the prescribed dose of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to the client. The special squeeze technique helps to prevent premature ejaculation; it does not help to relieve the symptoms of Peyronie's disease.
