Answer to Question 1

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