Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) regulates sperm production in men.
Rationale 2: Androgens are male sex hormones not regulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
Rationale 3: . Testosterone is regulated by luteinizing hormone (LH), not follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
Rationale 4: Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) does not regulate progesterone in men.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,3
Rationale 1: Mid-cycle spotting is common, especially with low-dose OC.
Rationale 2: Contraceptive failure is always a possibility, but slight spotting is normal and does not indicate possible pregnancy.
Rationale 3: The client should monitor the bleeding for changes such as becoming heavy or continuous.
Rationale 4: There is no reason to discontinue the pills.
Rationale 5: There is no indication that the wrong pills were obtained.
