Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Adolescents are usually happiest when family relationships are based on mutual respect and affection. Therefore, helping the father understand the importance of displaying respect for his son is an appropriate nursing intervention. Talking about diabetes is not an appropriate response to the father's concerns. Emphasizing good grades and family rules is not helpful advice from a nurse.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Many men experience benign or malignant hypertrophy or hyperplasia (enlarging) of the prostate gland. No sharp demarcation of the beginning or end of sexual activity or reproductive ability is found in the male reproductive system. Men never stop producing sperm, but their rate of sperm production decreases because their level of testosterone secretion declines with age. Older men experience a longer refractory period between orgasm and the ability to achieve another erection.
