Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
AndroGel and Testim, the transdermal gel formulations of testosterone, are applied to clean, dry, intact skin of the shoulder, the upper arms, or the buttocks. Do not apply AndroGel to the scro-tum, or Testim to the abdomen.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
In females with breast cancer receiving androgen therapy, frequently check urine and serum cal-cium levels, because androgens may induce hypercalcemia.
