Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Deepening of the voice may be seen as a feature of virilization following male hormone therapy in a female client. Virilization is the acquisition of male characteristics in the female. Other features of virilization include pigmentation, and not hypopigmentation, of the skin and an increase, not a decrease, in the size of the clitoris. An increase in body weight is not a sign of virilization. It may occur due to impaired nutrition of the body.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nursing diagnosis of Ineffective Tissue Perfusion is related to thromboembolism, which is a complication of estrogen replacement therapy. A nurse may note other female hormone-related adverse reactions such as edema of the feet due to excess fluid volume or gastrointestinal upset, which manifests as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and bloating. Chloasma is a dermatologic reaction due to female hormones, which results in excessive pigmentation of the skin.
