Answer to Question 1

Muscular dystrophy is a genetic inherited disease caused by a mutation of the gene that makes the muscle protein dystrophin. Without dystrophin, the muscles weaken and then atrophy. Symptoms appear in early childhood as weakness first in the lower extremities and then in the upper extremities. Weakness in the extremities is the most visible disability, but weakness of the diaphragm and inability to breathe is the most frequent cause of death.

Answer to Question 2

C
Explanation: A) Difficult or painful sexual intercourse (dyspareunia) is not treated with a penile implant.
B) Premature ejaculation is not treated with a penile implant.
C) Correct The man with erectile dysfunction is unable to achieve or sustain an erection of the penis. An implant can help this condition.
D) Priapism, a continued painful erection, is not treated with a penile implant.
