Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Older adults often have hypertension and other cardiovascular disorders that may be aggravated by sodium and water retention associated with androgens and anabolic steroids. Testosterone would not increase the risk of impotence. Liver and kidney failure could be exacerbated by the drug if they were preexisting conditions but since that is not indicated by the question, this would be a lower risk than fluid retention.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Chloride is an important negatively charged ion that helps to maintain electrical neutrality with the movement of cations across the cell membrane. Chloride is primarily reabsorbed in the loop of Henle, where it promotes the movement of sodium out of the cell. The other options are not correct.
