Answer to Question 1

ANS: a, b
The daily riding of a bike can be the cause of prolonged heat exposure to the testicles. Prolonged heat exposure is a gonadotoxin. A number of medications, such as calcium channel blockers, can have an effect on sperm production. Coffee has not been associated with low sperm counts. Prostatitis or other infections within the last 3 months may have an effect on the sperm analysis. This man's episode of prostatitis was 12 months prior.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: b, d
A second pregnancy is not an indication of a woman in need of additional support. A support system may be lacking for women who are trying to conceal a pregnancy or for women who are trying to keep the news of their pregnancy from relatives or friends until results from genetic tests are known. These individuals may need additional support from their nurses and other health-care providers, as they are placed in a powerless situation while awaiting results and face a pregnancy that may be in jeopardy.
