Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Current evidence shows a decrease in coronary heart disease (CHD) risk with HT but an increase in CVA risk; the evidence regarding breast cancer is still indefinite.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Primary hypogonadism is associated with a defect in the testicular production of testosterone normally accompanied by high levels of the hormonal precursors. Free testosterone levels would not be normal given the client's diagnosis. Low GnRH levels are associated with tertiary hypogonadism.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
