Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: A semen analysis is one of the first diagnostic tests, prior to doing invasive procedures.
Rationale 2: The Huhner test would not be done first.
Rationale 3: Scheduling to meet with a social worker would not be done immediately after the initial visit.
Rationale 4: A counselor visit is not part of the infertility workup.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale: As adolescents develop a sense of identity,they are focused on themselves and the present. They have a heightened concern about their appearance but may have inaccurate assessments of their body image and low self-esteem when comparing their bodies with those of their peers.
