Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 5
The inability to ejaculate may be caused by certain medications, such as antihypertensives, antidepressants, anxiolytics, and narcotics. Topical steroids are not identified as affecting ejaculation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3
Risk factors for testicular cancer include age because 20 of cases occur between the ages of 25 and 45; a family history of testicular cancer; and cryptorchidism. Treatment for hypertension and alcohol intake is not a risk factor for testicular cancer.
