Answer to Question 1

A
A low LH means there is adequate stimulation of testosterone. A high FSH means there is a low or decreased spermatogenesis.

Answer to Question 2

B
Blurred vision, halos around lights, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and fatigue are all indicators of toxicity to digitalis. Assessment is especially important for the dehydrated patient because of the rising potassium level.
