Answer to Question 1

4
Prednisone, cyclosporine, and azathioprine are common medications prescribed for renal transplant clients. Vancomycin can be nephrotoxic.

Answer to Question 2

3
In men, hyperprolactinemia causes a decrease in testosterone secondary to an inhibition of gonadotropin secretion, leading to decreased facial and body hair, erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, small testicles, and infertility. Gynecomastia occurs less frequently in men.
