Question 19

The client comes to the clinic and asks for a prescription for tadalafil (Cialis).What is a priority assessment for the nurse to ask?

It is important for the nurse to ask about the use of nitroglycerine because tadalafil should not be taken with nitroglycerine due to the potential for a significant decrease in blood pressure. This combination can result in hypotension, which can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications. If the client uses nitroglycerine, the nurse should consult with the provider before prescribing tadalafil.

 The nurse should also ask about the use of blood pressure medication because some medications used to treat hypertension can interact with tadalafil, resulting in a significant decrease in blood pressure. If the client takes blood pressure medication, the nurse should consult with the provider before prescribing tadalafil.
