The nurse suspects an adult client is experiencing hypogonadism after assessing:
 
  1. underdeveloped testes.
  2. lack of facial and pubic hair.
  3. a swollen scrotal sac.
  4. decreased subcutaneous fat.

Question 2

The nurse counsels a male client regarding testosterone secretion based on knowledge that when testosterone levels rise above normal, the body responds by:
 
  1. decreasing the secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which results in a decrease in testosterone production.
  2. increasing the secretion of estrogen to counteract the effects of the excess testosterone.
  3. decreasing the release of testosterone directly from the testes.
  4. increasing the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to decrease the testosterone secretion.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Underdevelopment of the testicles would occur in an adolescent, not in an adult.
Rationale 2: The adult man who presents with hypogonadism would likely have sparse body hair.
Rationale 3: The scrotal sac would not be enlarged.
Rationale 4: Hypogonadism in an adult would result in increased subcutaneous fat.
Global Rationale: The adult man who presents with hypogonadism would likely have sparse body hair. Underdevelopment of the testicles would occur in an adolescent, not in an adult. The scrotal sac with not be enlarged and subcutaneous fat would likely be increased.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: When testosterone levels rise above normal, the body responds by decreasing the secretion of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone from the pituitary gland. This negative feedback response system triggers a reduction in testosterone secretion from the testes.
Rationale 2: The body does not increase the secretion of estrogen to counteract the effects of the excess testosterone.
Rationale 3: The body does not decrease the release of testosterone directly from the testes.
Rationale 4: Increasing the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone does not decrease testosterone secretion.
Global Rationale: When testosterone levels rise above normal, the body responds by decreasing the secretion of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone from the pituitary gland. This negative feedback response system triggers a reduction in testosterone secretion from the testes. The body does not increase the secretion of estrogen to counteract the effects of the excess testosterone or decrease the release of testosterone directly from the testes. Increasing the release of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone does not decrease testosterone secretion.
