Final answer:
Androgens are contraindicated for males with prostate cancer, liver dysfunctions, or heart conditions, as well as for those with testicular atrophy or prostate enlargement leading to urination difficulties.
Step-by-step explanation:
The administration of androgens would be contraindicated in a male client primarily in the case where he has prostate cancer or is at high risk for prostate cancer. Androgens can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells and their administration would not be advised. Moreover, if the individual has a history of liver problems such as liver dysfunction or liver tumors, since androgens can exacerbate these conditions. Other contraindications include heart conditions because of the increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, and impaired cardiac function.
