Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: The patient's ability to sustain an erection is not a criterion for success of endocrine pharmacotherapy for infertility.
Rationale 2: The goal of endocrine pharmacotherapy is to increase sperm production. A sperm count of 22 million/mL is normal.
Rationale 3: The amount of ejaculate volume is not a criterion for success of endocrine pharmacology for infertility.
Rationale 4: Patient's pleasure with intercourse is not a criterion for success of endocrine pharmacology for infertility.

Global Rationale: The goal of endocrine pharmacotherapy is to increase sperm production. A sperm count of 22 million/mL is normal. The patient's ability to sustain an erection, the amount of ejaculate, and patient's pleasure with intercourse are not criteria for success of endocrine pharmacotherapy for infertility.

Answer to Question 2

4

Rationale 1: Onabotulinumtoxin A (Botox) and rimabotulinumtoxin B (Myobloc) are direct-acting antispasmodics.
Rationale 2: Onabotulinumtoxin A (Botox) and rimabotulinumtoxin B (Myobloc) are direct-acting antispasmodics.
Rationale 3: Onabotulinumtoxin A (Botox) and rimabotulinumtoxin B (Myobloc) are direct-acting antispasmodics.
Rationale 4: Onabotulinumtoxin A (Botox) and rimabotulinumtoxin B (Myobloc) are direct-acting antispasmodics.

Global Rationale: Onabotulinumtoxin A (Botox) and rimabotulinumtoxin B (Myobloc)are direct-acting antispasmodics. They are not peripherally acting antispasmodics, indirect-acting antispasmodics, or centrally acting antispasmodics.
