Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Telling the client the nurse will speak to the physician is inappropriate, as there may be nothing that can be done to correct the results of the therapy.
Rationale 2: For the conversation to be therapeutic, the nurse must first assess the client's perception of the problem.
Rationale 3: The effects last throughout the course of therapy and are not temporary.
Rationale 4: Telling the client he does not look any different does not acknowledge his concerns and is non-therapeutic.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Androgens will help with athletic performance, but this is not the reason the drug would be administered in a clinical setting.
Rationale 2: High doses of androgens are occasionally used as a palliative measure to treat certain types of breast cancer.
Rationale 3: Androgens would not have any effect on brain cancer.
Rationale 4: Sexual reassignment surgery would not be the reason for the drug to be administered in a clinical setting.
