B
A yellowish tint to the skin and sclera would most concern the nurse, because 17alpha-alkylated androgen (Fluoxymesterone) is known to cause hepatotoxicity.
Gynecomastia is expected in males.
A decrease in HDL would require monitoring of those levels but not titration of the medication.
Fluoxymesterone is not associated with erratic blood glucose levels.
