Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Deepening of the voice may be seen as a feature of virilization following male hormone therapy in a female client. Virilization is the acquisition of male characteristics in the female. Other features of virilization include pigmentation, and not hypopigmentation, of the skin and an increase, not a decrease, in the size of the clitoris. An increase in body weight is not a sign of virilization. It may occur due to impaired nutrition of the body.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nursing diagnosis of Ineffective Tissue Perfusion is related to thromboembolism, which is a complication of estrogen replacement therapy. A nurse may note other female hormone-related adverse reactions such as edema of the feet due to excess fluid volume or gastrointestinal upset, which manifests as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and bloating. Chloasma is a dermatologic reaction due to female hormones, which results in excessive pigmentation of the skin.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
