FAU Adv Health Assessment Final Exam Questions And
100% Correct Answers
Inguinal hernia - ANSWER The main symptom of an inguinal hernia is a bulge in the groin
or scrotum. It often feels like a round lump. The bulge may form over a period of weeks
or months. Or it may appear all of a sudden after you have been lifting heavy weights,
coughing, bending, straining, or laughing.
Torsion of spermatic cord ANSWER Testicular torsion occurs when a testicle rotates,
thus twisting the spermatic cord that brings blood to the scrotum. The reduced blood
flow causes sudden and often severe pain and swelling. Testicular torsion is most
common between ages 12 and 16, but can occur at any age.
Hydrocele ANSWER A painless collection of watery fluid in a sac surrounding one or
both testicles, leading to scrotal swelling; caused by infection, injury, or cancer.
Unsightly and uncomfortable but usually painless and not dangerous.
Orchitis - ANSWER An inflammation of one or both testicles, usually caused by bacterial
infection or by the virus that causes mumps. Bacterial orchitis may result from STIs,
especially gonorrhea or chlamydia.
Prostatitis - ANSWER a swelling and inflammation of the prostate gland, a walnut-sized
gland located directly below the bladder in men of prostatitis may include infection,
injury or an immune system disorder. Symptoms include painful urination, groin, pelvic,
or genital pain and, sometimes flu-like symptoms.
Epididymitis - ANSWER Inflammation of the tube on the rear of the testicle, which stores
and transports sperm. Swelling of this tube may result in pain and swelling of the
testicles. Symptoms include discomfort or pain in the scrotum, epididymis, or the
testicles
variocele - ANSWER A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins within the loose bag of
,skin that holds your testicles (scrotum).
Feels like a soft 'bag of worms' in the spermatic cord.
To check for variocele-with patient standing, palpage the spermatic cord about 2 cm
above the testis. Have the patient hold his breath and 'bear down' against a closed
glottis for about 4 seconds. This will produce a temp increase in the diameter of the
spermatic cord indicates filling of abnormal dilated spermatic veins draining the testis.
testicular CA - ANSWER Testicular cancer starts in the testicles, also called testes,
which are in the scrotum. The testicles produce male sex hormones and sperm for
reproduction. The number of new cases of testicular cancer diagnosed is quite small;
however, it is the most common type of cancer in men between the ages of 15 and 35.
Fortunately, testicular cancer is highly curable, even when the cancer has spread
beyond the testicle.
normal vas deferens-ANWER Ductus deferens, also called vas deferens, thick-walled
tube in the male reproductive system that stores sperm cells originating in the testes
and conveys them to the ejaculatory ducts.
condylomata acuminate - ANS Genital warts. Single/multiple papules or plaques of
variable shapes; maybe round, acuminate-pointed or thin and slender. Maybe raised,
flat or cauliflower-like. HPV subtypes 6, 11. Incubation - weeks to months. Occasionally
causing itching and pain. May disappear without treatment.
Genital herpes -ANSWER Small scattered or grouped vesicles, on glans or shaft of
penis. Appear as erosions. Associated with fever, malaise, head ache, arthralgia, local
pain and edema.
Syphilitic chancre - ANSWER A chancre is a painless ulceration most commonly formed
during the primary stage of syphilis. This infectious lesion forms approximately 21 days
after the initial exposure to Treponema pallidum, the gram-negative spirochaete
bacterium yielding syphilis. Base of chancre is clean, red, smooth and glistening;
borders are raised and indurated. Chancre heals within 3 to 8 weeks.
,scrotal edema - ANSWER Scrotal swelling is an enlargement of the scrotal sac. The
scrotal sac, or scrotum, contains the testicles. Scrotal swelling can result from an injury
or a medical condition. It can be caused by the collection of fluid, inflammation, or an
abnormal growth within the scrotum
scrotal hernia - ANSWER The most significant symptom of inguinal hernia is bulging in
the groin or in the scrotum. It usually appears to be in a form of round lump. The bulge
may develop after some weeks or months. Or it may suddenly pop out after you have
lifted heavy weights, have been coughing, bending, straining, or even laughing.
Mongolian spot-ANSWER very common on any part of the body of dark-skinned babies.
They are flat, gray-blue in color almost appearing as a bruise, and can be small or large.
They are due to some pigment that didn't make it to the top layer when the skin was
forming.
Café-au-lait spots ANSWER are light tan- or light brown-colored spots usually oval in
shape. They are often present at birth but may develop in the first few years of life.
Cafe-au-lait spots may be a normal type of birthmark, but multiple cafe-au-lait spots
larger than a quarter may occur in neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder causing
abnormal growth of nerve tissues.
Neurofibromatosis - ANSWER A pathologic condition must be ruled out in newborns that
present with 5 or more café-au-lait spots?
