Answer to Question 1

A
Men with secondary hypogonadism may become fertile with exogenous testosterone.

Answer to Question 2

D
Atomoxetine is not a stimulant medication but is thought to be as effective as stimulant medications. It is the only nonstimulant treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for AD/HD that has been shown to be safe, well tolerated, and efficacious in the treatment of children.
