Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Both sildenafil and nitroglycerin are vasodilators and can lead to severe hypotension when used together. Sildenafil acts by inhibiting phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE 5), an enzyme that breaks down cGMP, which regulates blood flow in the penis. The medication also results in the dilation of blood vessels in the lungs, which is beneficial for treating pulmonary arterial hypertension.
B, C, D- No interactions with nitroglycerin

A. Dry cough B. Oral candidiasis C. Black stools D. Tardive dyskinesia

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

metoclopramide is a dopamine antagonist which could interact with central dopamine receptors to cause tardive dyskinesia. The nurse should monitor the client for tardive dyskinesia, a serious movement disorder that can be caused by high-dose metoclopramide. When administering injections, it is generally recommended to inject the medication into the lateral thigh.
