Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: There is no relationship between this testosterone level and a risk of infection.
Rationale 2: There is no relationship between this testosterone level and thyroid function.
Rationale 3: Normal plasma concentrations of testosterone are higher than 154 mg/dL.
Rationale 4: Normal plasma concentrations of testosterone are 2501000 mg/dL.
Global Rationale: Normal plasma concentrations of testosterone are 2501000 mg/dL so this is not a normal level. There is no relationship between testosterone level and risk of infection or thyroid function.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2,3,4,5
Rationale 1: Testosterone does not restrict bone growth.
Rationale 2: Testosterone is responsible for supporting the growth of the testes and scrotum and the enlargement of the penis.
Rationale 3: Testosterone contributes to the development of skeletal muscle mass.
Rationale 4: Testosterone promotes the synthesis of erythropoietin, which results in higher hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in males than is found in females.
Rationale 5: Testosterone is responsible for the process of virilization, or the development of secondary sex characteristics in males.
Global Rationale: Testosterone is responsible for supporting the growth of the testes and scrotum and the enlargement of the penis. It contributes to the development of skeletal muscle mass and promotes the synthesis of erythropoietin, which results in higher hemoglobin and hematocrit levels in males than is found in females. Testosterone is responsible for the process of virilization, or the development of secondary sex characteristics in males. Testosterone does not restrict bone growth.
