A client is scheduled for a pump-type implanted penile prosthesis. Which client statement would indicate the need for additional teaching?
A) "The reservoir is filled with saline solution."
B) "The penis will appear longer than usual."
C) "Surgery is required for placing the implant."
D) "The implant is pumped when sexual activity is desired."
B
Feedback:
When a pump-type implant is used, the erect penis tends to be shorter than usual because the saline filled cylinders do not fill the glans portion of the penis. This procedure is performed via surgical approach. The implant is pumped causing filling and erection when sexual activity is desired.
