Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, C, E

Risk factors for female infertility include excess alcohol consumption, poor diet, athletic training, or being infected with a sexually transmitted infection. Employment status is not a risk factor for female infertility.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, C, D

The quality and effectiveness of sperm is affected by smoking history, use of over-the-counter pain medications, and experiencing mumps after adolescence. Activity level and number of siblings are not criteria to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of sperm.
