Answer to Question 1

1
The primary functions of the male reproductive system are the production of sperm, the transportation and depositing of sperm in the female reproductive tract, and the secretion of testosterone. Frequent erectile functioning and increased libido are not primary functions.

Answer to Question 2

4
A careful history on urinary patterns should be taken by the nurse. The ease with which the stream of urine is started, the strength of the stream, and the perceived amount of urine eliminated with each voiding, along with the patient's sense about whether the bladder is completely emptied and the presence of nocturia or dribbling, should be noted. The client's bowel, eating, and sleeping patterns are also important; however, they are not as important as the urinary patterns.
