Answer to Question 1

Answer: 3
Explanation: Lueprolide (Lupron) may be used as chemical castration for the male pedophilic patient. This medication works by inhibiting the release of luteinizing hormone from the pituitary gland. Hypertension is a potential complication DVT, tachycardia, and hyperlipidemia are not typical side effects to this medication.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 1
Explanation: Medroxyprogesterone (Provera or Depo-Provera) is used as a temporary chemical castration in male patients diagnosed with pedophilia because it decreases the level of testosterone, thereby lowering the patient's sex drive. This treatment is usually used in combination with cognitive-behavioral therapy. Medroxyprogesterone does not increase luteinizing hormone.
