Answer to Question 1

D
Unstable angina attacks are unpredictable and do not follow a pattern, as do stable angina at-tacks. Unstable angina can progress into a myocardial infarction (MI) and a medical emergency.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
The patient should use a scrotal support for comfort, apply an ice pack to reduce swelling in the first 12 to 24 hours postprocedure, and use a backup birth control method until the sperm count is negative. The patient should delay intercourse for 1 week, and the follow-up visit should occur 1 year after the sperm count is negative to confirm that the vas deferens is not intact.
