Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
In Klinefelter's syndrome, the male appears normal until adolescence, when low levels of testosterone result in small testes, infertility, and a low level of sexual interest. High sperm count, deficiency of 5 x-reductase, and low estrogen level are not related to Klinefelter's syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
It is important to listen to the client and not to use platitudes or ignore complaints regarding sexual dysfunctions. The man presents with symptoms of erectile dysfunction (ED), which is treatable with medications. He does not exhibit hypoactive sexual desire.
