Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Actions that directly increase scrotal heat, such as working at a desk job, may cause sperm counts to be lower compared with men whose occupations allow them to be ambulatory at least part of each day. Jogging, a low-lipid diet, and vitamin supplementation are not as important as physical posturing when beginning an analysis for a low sperm count.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse needs to communicate nonjudgmental support and explain that no one deserves to be abused. Doing so helps to establish trust and rapport. Asking the woman what she did to make the partner so angry, telling her to clean the house earlier in the day, and telling her that she needs to meet his needs all shift the blame to the victim and are thus inappropriate.
