Answer to Question 1

2. Secondary male sex characteristics may develop.

Rationale:
Methyltestosterone is an androgen hormone replacement used to treat estrogen dependent cancers. The nurse should instruct the client of the risk of developing secondary male sex characteristics when taking this medication. Increased risk of multiple births is associated with female infertility medications. Reporting calf pain or dyspnea is associated with estrogen hormone replacement therapy. This medication does not need to be taken with food.

Answer to Question 2

3. Encourage the client to ask his wife to discuss the lack of interest with her physician

Rationale:
The nurse's role with this client is counseling for sexual dysfunction. The nurse should encourage the client to ask his wife to discuss the lack of interest with her physician as a starting point.. The other choices are inappropriate and should not be provided to the client.
