NCLEX-RN Exam - Question 69

Priapism is often a sign of altered neurological function. It specifically can be associated with spinal cord injuries, where the neurological dysfunction due to trauma leads to abnormal, often painful and persistent, erections. Priapism is not typically a sign of imminent death, urinary incontinence, or reproductive dysfunction directly, although it may be associated with these conditions as secondary issues. The correct answer is altered neurological function.
