Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A varicocele is an abnormal dilatation of the testicular veins in the scrotum, causing a reflux of blood down to the scrotum when standing or straining. The scrotal temperature is higher than normal because of the blood pooling in the area. Heat impairs spermatogenesis and sperm storage, resulting in a low sperm count and infertility. Thyroid disorder may cause erectile dysfunction and an undescended testicle is a risk factor for testicular cancer. Epididymitis is inflammation of the epididymis. In adults younger than 40 years, Chlamydia trachomatis is often the causative organism, and the condition manifests as a burning sensation and/or penile discharge.

Answer to Question 2

A, E, F
Feedback:
Stealing medications, sexual harassment of a coworker, and conviction of a felony are considered a just cause for suspending a license. Mild depression is not an uncontrolled mental illness and, therefore, is not a just cause for suspending a license. Damage to hospital equipment or lapse in license renewal is not considered a just cause for suspending a license.
