Practice Question
Lab Tests for Erectile Dysfunction (except one)
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Partial thromboplastin time
Rationale:
💎 Common laboratory tests for erectile dysfunction (ED) evaluate underlying metabolic, hormonal, and vascular causes (e.g., testosterone, TSH, glucose, and cholesterol).
💎 Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) measures coagulation status, unrelated to erectile or endocrine function.
💎 ED is often linked to diabetes, dyslipidemia, thyroid dysfunction, or low testosterone levels.
💎 Laboratory work-up helps identify reversible causes before prescribing phosphodiesterase inhibitors.
💎 The nurse should educate clients that lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol use, and obesity also contribute to ED.
