Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The highest priority areas of the nurse's teaching involves educating the client about the expected pubertal changes that take place in the body and convince him that the involuntary discharge of semen while sleeping is a normal part of reproductive health. Once he understands what is to be expected, the nurse can address sex education issues.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The two vas deferens or ductus deferentia are ligated (tied) and cut in the male sterilization procedure, called vasectomy. This operation does not affect erection or ejaculation; it just prevents sperm from passing.
