Correct Answers
1. A 50-year-old male patient reports having decreased libido and testicular atrophy. The nurse

a. Testosterone (Androderm)
b. Finasteride (Proscar)
c. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn-RH)
d. Sildenafil (Viagra) - answer✔✔ANS: A
Testosterone is given patients who have low testosterone, evidenced by decreased libido and
testicular atrophy in adult men. Finasteride is given to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy.
Gn-RH is used to inhibit testosterone production. Sildenafil is used to treat erectile dysfunction.
2. The nurse is teaching the parents of a boy who has inadequate pituitary function and delayed
puberty about testosterone cypionate injections. Which statement by the parents indicates a need
for further teaching?

b."Injections will be given deep into his gluteal muscles."
C."Sexual development will occur in 3-4 months."
d. "His serum testosterone levels will need to be monitored." - answer✔✔ANS: C
It takes 3-4 years for sexual development to occur with androgen therapy for hypogonadism, so
parents should be reminded of this. X-rays are needed every 6 months to assess bone effects.
Injections are given deep intramuscularly into gluteal muscles. Serum testosterone levels will
need to be monitored to maintain normal levels and direct changes in testosterone dosing.
The nurse is instructing a patient about the buccal muco-adhesive testosterone system (Striant)
to treat low testosterone. What information will the nurse include when teaching this patient
about this drug?
a. If the product slides out of position more than 4 h before the next dose, replace it with a new
system
b. Place the flattened surface against the gum and hold it firmly in place for 30 seconds.
C. The product may be swallowed after it has been in place for at least 4 h. - answer✔✔ANS: A
If the product falls off within the 12-h dosing interval or falls out of position within 4 h of the
next dose, it should be discarded and a new product applied. The rounded surface should be
placed against the gum. The product should not be swallowed. The product should be removed
by sliding downwards toward the tooth.
4. The nurse provides teaching to a man who will begin using an Androderm testosterone patch.
Which statement by the patient indicates understanding of the teaching?
a. "I may stop using Androderm when my serum testosterone is normal."
b. "I should apply this to any skin other than the scrotum or bony areas."
c. "I will apply two skin patches every morning after a shower."
d. "My serum testosterone will continue to rise with each day of use." - answer✔✔ANS: B
Androderm should be applied to any intact skin other than the scrotum or over a bony area.
