The nurse counsels a 52-year-old male patient who returns for a follow-up visit 3 weeks after ...

The nurse counsels a 52-year-old male patient who returns for a follow-up visit 3 weeks after starting an alpha antagonist for hypertension. He is upset because the medication has caused problems with ejaculation.

The nurse's best response would be: a. The problem will be resolved when the drug is discontinued. If this is unacceptable to you, you will need a different drug.
b. The ejaculatory problem is probably a result of your hypertension and thus is likely to be permanent.
c. The ejaculatory problem is not as important as uncontrolled hypertension. You will need to cope with this problem.
d. You should stay on the medication for 12 months before changing regardless of the side effects.
