Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Androgens cause decreased sperm counts and usually takes 3 months after cessation of therapy to return sperm counts to normal. During pregnancy, androgens can cross the placenta and cause masculinization of the fetus. Virilization can occur in those secondarily exposed to testosterone gel and may cause teratogenic effects in fetuses. Increasing the testosterone will not increase the sperm count.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
This antiandrogen drug is used to treat metastatic prostate cancer. It is not effective to treat other hormonally dependent diseases such as breast cancer, male-pattern baldness, or BPH.
