Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Adverse effects of androgen abuse can cause hepatotoxicity and an elevated serum cholesterol level, with a decrease in HDL cholesterol and an increase in LDL cholesterol. Blood coagulation is not affected. A CBC is not indicated. Serum glucose and hemoglobin A1c levels are not indicated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The medication should be applied to the arms and upper torso, not to the genitalia; this statement indicates a need for further teaching. The patient should be instructed not to shower, bathe, or swim for 5 to 6 hours after applying the medication. The patient should be instructed to keep areas where the medication was applied covered to prevent direct skin-to-skin contact with others. The patient should be advised to return to the clinic within 2 weeks for blood tests.
