Answer to Question 1

C
Semen analysis is a noninvasive diagnostic tool used to determine the most common cause of male infertility, a decrease in the functioning of the sperm. Testicular biopsy is an invasive procedure used to diagnose testicular cancer and is seldom a cause of infertility. Endocrine profiles and postcoital test are not appropriate first steps in diagnosing infertility.

Answer to Question 2

A
The main ingredients in proper bowel function and preventing constipation are activity and adequate fluids and food, especially fruits and vegetables. The episiotomy pain will decrease with exercise. Ambulation is a key ingredient for preventing constipation. Although the Kegel exercises help strengthen the perineal floor muscles, they will not prevent constipation. If a Fleet enema is used, the bowel can become dependent on external forces. Constipation is the most common adverse effect associated with analgesics.
