MEN’S HEALTH GU ADV PRACTICE NURSING EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

address testicular cancer risk, a nurse should modify client teaching for male clients to include
r xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr
:
A. physician visits. xr

examination is a relatively simple technique that's extremely useful in detecting cancer-
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr
related testicular changes. Physician visits, risk factors, and family history are important to all
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr x
clients, regardless of gender, and don't specifically address risk factors associated with testicul
r xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr
ar cancer.

2. After having transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), a client returns to the unit with
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr
a three-

occluding the catheter. After TURP, urine normally appears red to pink, and normal saline irri
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr
gant usually is infused at a rate of 40 to 60 drops/minute or according to facility protocol. The
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr x

Explanation: Cryptorchidism is the failure of one or both of the testes to descend into the scrot
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr
um. Hydrocele is a collection of fluid, generally in the tunica vaginalis of the testes. Varicocele
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr
is an abnormal dilation of the veins of the pampiniform venous plexus in the scrotum. Phimosis i
xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr xr
s a condition in which the foreskin is constricted so that is cannot be retracted over the glans.
