Answer to Question 1

A
Antiretroviral therapy can cause a fat redistribution syndrome known as lipodystrophy. Hypogo-nadism is a different endocrine-related problem that can occur in patients with AIDS. Hyperlipi-demia is also associated with antiretroviral therapy, but this is not associated with changes in body composition. Wasting syndrome is generally prevented by use of antiretroviral therapy.

Answer to Question 2

C
Patients with hypogonadism experience fatigue that makes it difficult to prepare and consume food; this may contribute to malnutrition and wasting. Hypogonadism is not associated with in-creased metabolic rate, dry mouth, stomatitis, altered taste acuity, or food aversions.
