Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Administration of estrogens will suppress androgen secretion, not kill the cells faster.
Rationale 2: Administration of estrogens will suppress androgen secretion, but will not eliminate testosterone.
Rationale 3: Prostate cancer is usually dependent on androgens for growth; administration of estrogens will suppress androgen secretion.
Rationale 4: Administration of estrogens will suppress androgen secretion, not prevent nutrients from getting to, or feeding, the cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Clomiphene (Clomid) stimulates LH (luteinizing hormone); it does not increase estrogen levels.
Rationale 2: Clomiphene (Clomid) stimulates LH (luteinizing hormone) resulting in the maturation of more ovarian follicles than would normally occur.
Rationale 3: Clomiphene (Clomid) stimulates LH (luteinizing hormone); it does not stimulate FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone).
Rationale 4: Clomiphene (Clomid) stimulates LH (luteinizing hormone), not gonadotropin-releasing hormone.
