Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Testosterone can be used to treat refractory anemias in men and women. It works by stimulating the synthesis of erythropoietin, a renal hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells. Virilization effects can be permanent if the hormone is not withdrawn, so patients developing facial hair and other signs should be told to report this to the provider. Breast enlargement occurs in males taking this drug. Testosterone reduces HDL cholesterol and increases LDL cholesterol.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D
Indications for early induction of labor include abruptio placentae, gestational hypertension, and premature rupture of the membranes. Active genital herpes infection and umbilical cord prolapse are contraindications to induction, even at term, because they can involve significant harm to the fetus.
