Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
The physiologic effects associated with androgen therapy are promotion of skeletal muscle growth, an increase in height and weight, acceleration of epiphyseal closure, deepening of the voice, oily skin, and acne.
Androgen therapy accelerates, not delays, epiphyseal closure.
Androgen therapy deepens the voice rather than raising the pitch.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The nurse would be most concerned about hypertension, because steroids cause salt and water retention.
A mild cough does not indicate any significant finding associated with steroid use.
Facial hair may be anticipated, and an increase in creatinine would be consistent with increased muscle mass.
