Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
In the patient taking testosterone, the nurse should monitor serum calcium levels and observe for signs of hypercalcemia (e.g., kidney stones, polyuria, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, depression). ABGs, respiratory function, and skin integrity are not typically affected by testosterone.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Disorders of the prostate contraindicate testosterone use because men with an enlarged prostate may have additional enlargement. Incontinence, diabetes, and kidney disease are not absolute contraindications to the use of testosterone.
