Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Applying the system immediately after opening the pouch and removing the protective cover may help obtain an optimal response to the transdermal androgen delivery system. The drug should not be applied to the underside of the scrotum. It is applied to clean, dry skin on the abdomen, thigh, back, or upper arm. Thus, the skin should not be moistened before the application; rather, it should be dry. Seven days should be allowed between applications to a specific site, and application to the same site should not be repeated after 3 days.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A, B, C, D
Feedback:
Transdermal delivery of estrogens has been found to be safer especially for women with hypertriglyceridemi a, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and migraine headaches and those who smoke.
