Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Exposure to increased temperature over a period of time can impair spermatogenesis (sperm production) in the testes. It is also thought that wearing tight-fitting undergarments might contribute to infertility and decreased numbers of sperm, because of the close contact of the scrotum with the rest of the body when wearing these undergarments.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
It is important for the nurse to inform the client that acne is one of the physical changes that characterizes adolescence as a result of increased glandular activity. The client need not seek consultation with the primary care provider, because the condition is not serious. The client should not be reprimanded; the condition should be explained as a natural phase. The client's worries should not be trivialized or ignored either.
