Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,3,4
Rationale 1: STIs are a common cause of obstruction of the vas deferens which would result in sperm not passing into the ejaculate.
Rationale 2: ED would not result in azoospermia.
Rationale 3: Mumps and other infections may result in blockage of the vas deferens which would prevent the passage of sperm into the ejaculate.
Rationale 4: Infections such as chronic TB may result in obstruction of the vas deferens which could result in azoospermia.
Rationale 5: Atherosclerosis is more likely to be a reason for erectile dysfunction.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Self-injection does not make the use of steroids legal.
Rationale 2: The effects of anabolic steroids often last long after the drug is discontinued.
Rationale 3: Coaches are not the experts on the use of anabolic steroids and their effects on the body. Reputable coaches should not tolerate the use of these drugs.
Rationale 4: Psychologic dependence is possible with use of anabolic steroids.
Rationale 5: Ibuprofen use could result in additive liver damage.
