Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A potentially life-threatening effect of an androgen is hepatocellular cancer. Jaundice would indicate that the liver function has been compromised. Usually weight gain and deepening of the voice are adverse effects of this drug. An increase in blood pressure is not associated with methyltestosterone.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Chlorpromazine is a phenothiazine; phenothiazines are the drug of choice for intractable hiccoughs. Thus, options A, C, and D are not correct.
