Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
It takes 3 to 4 years for sexual development to occur with androgen therapy for hypogonadism, so parents should be reminded of this. X-rays are needed every 6 months to assess bone age. Injections are given deep intramuscularly into gluteal muscles. Urinary tract problems can occur and should be reported.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Testosterone is given patients who have low testosterone, evidenced by decreased libido and testicular atrophy in adult men. Finasteride is given to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy. Gn-RH is used to inhibit testosterone production. Sildenafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction.
