Which information should the nurse include in the lecture?&#10;A) Spermatogenesis takes approximately 10 weeks.&#10;B) Spermatogenesis is the destruction of sperm cells.&#10;C) Non-ejaculated sperm can be stored in the ductus epididymis for 5 weeks.&#10;D) Sperm cells are immotile.

Accepted Answer

The nurse should include that spermatogenesis takes approximately 10 weeks.

Question 2

The nurse is providing reproductive information for a 40-year-old male who is interested in having children with his wife. Based on this client's age, which information should the nurse include?&#10;A) Due to gender, this client is not likely to have any issues with conception and reproduction.&#10;B) The client's wife may experience some issues with conception due to family history.&#10;C) The client's risk of fathering a child with a dominant mutation is high due to age.&#10;D) The client has a low risk of spermatic mutation.

Accepted Answer

Due to the continuous turnover of spermatogonia, sperm cells tend to accumulate mutations as the male ages.

Accepted Answer

Transdermal testosterone patches can deliver a suitable level of androgenic stimulation to positively influence libido while avoiding masculinization.

Hypoactive sexual disorder occurs in both men and women, and can be caused by stress, depression, and other psychological issues.

Question 5

When can male and female fetuses be clearly distinguished?&#10;A) After the second week&#10;B) After the third week&#10;C) After the eighth week&#10;D) After the ninth week

Accepted Answer

Male and female fetuses remain undifferentiated until the ninth week of development, with primordial ductal and sinal tissues providing the starting material for development of the genitalia and reproductive tracts.

Question 6

The nurse is presenting a lecture on hormonal contraceptives. Which statement by one of the learners indicates that teaching has been effective?&#10;A) &#34;Hormonal contraceptives have no impact mate selection.&#34;&#10;B) &#34;Hormonal contraceptives are shown to increase hormonal fluctuations.&#34;&#10;C) &#34;Hormonal contraception may alter mate choices.&#34;&#10;D) &#34;Hormonal contraception generally only affects males.&#34;

Accepted Answer

Research suggests that the use of hormonal contraception may alter mate choices in both male and females due to the prevention of hormonal changes within the body.

Question 7

The total volume of sperm during ejaculation is:&#10;A) 1-3mL.&#10;B) 2-6mL.&#10;C) 6-10mL.&#10;D) 8-10mL.

Accepted Answer

The total volume of sperm during ejaculation is 2-6mL.

Question 8

The nurse is counseling a client who recently had a vasectomy. Which statement from the client indicates that teaching has been effective?&#10;A) &#34;I will no longer ejaculate during intercourse.&#34;&#10;B) &#34;I will only ejaculate intermittently during intercourse.&#34;&#10;C) &#34;There will be no visible reduction in the amount of semen.&#34;&#10;D) &#34;The volume of semen will vary from time to time.&#34;

Accepted Answer

The epididymal fluid containing the sperm contributes only about 2% of the volume of semen. Therefore, the client will not have a visible reduction in the amount of semen.

Question 9

Testosterone levels are positively correlated with sex drive, with androgen receptors within the brain able to bind and respond to testosterone.

Question 10

The nurse is counseling a client on treating erectile dysfunction with sildenafil (Viagra).
