Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The androgens released by the adrenal glands are sufficient to sustain male sexual characteristics. Androgens are very similar in structure to testosterone and are able to influence cells to maintain the changes caused by testosterone. No residual testosterone is found in muscle cells, the penis does not secrete hormones, and supplemental medications are not required.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Buspirone is a newer anxiolytic drug that does not cause sedation or muscle relaxation. It is preferred when the patient needs to be alert such as when driving or working. Alprazolam, diazepam, and clorazepate are benzodiazepines, which cause drowsiness, sedation, depression, lethargy, confusion, and decreased mental alertness. It would be unsafe for a nurse to function in her role while taking one of these drugs.
