Which is an expected characteristic of the scrotum of a full-term newborn boy?
A. Fibrous
B. Pendulous
C. Smooth
D. Without rugae B: CorrectThe scrotum of the premature infant may appear
underdeveloped, without rugae, and without testes, whereas the full-term neonate should
have a loose, pendulous scrotum with rugae and a midline raphe.
When examining the penis of an uncircumcised neonate, what is the basis for your conclusion
that the foreskin is not too tight?
A. The urethral meatus is visible when the foreskin is gently retracted.
B. The glans penis is pink and moist when the foreskin is retracted.
C. The foreskin pulls back enough to allow a good urinary stream.
D. The infant shows no sign of discomfort when the foreskin is retracted. C: CorrectThe
foreskin in the uncircumcised infant is commonly tight, but it should retract enough to permit a
good urinary stream.
,Mrs. Baker presents to your office with her 2-year-old son. On examination, you note that the
urinary meatus appears at the base of the penis. What is the name of this condition?
A. Varicocele
B. Epispadias
C. Hydrocele
D. Hypospadias D: CorrectHypospadias is a congenital defect in which the urethral meatus is
located on the ventral surface of the glans penile shaft, or the base of the penis.
________ is an inflammation of the glans penis.
A. Hydrocele
B. Balanitis
C. Varicocele
D. Epididymitis B: CorrectBalanitis is an inflammation of the glans penis; balanoposthitis is
an inflammation of the glans penis and prepuce. Phimosis, a condition in which the foreskin is
tight and cannot be retracted, can be the result.
______________ is a fluid accumulation in the tunica typically seen in infants.
A. Varicocele
B. Hypospadias
C. Epididymitis
,D. Hydrocele D: CorrectFluid accumulates in the scrotum as a result of a defect in the tunica
vaginalis; this condition is common in infancy; if the tunica vaginalis is not patent, the hydrocele
will generally disappear spontaneously in the first 6 months of life
____________ is an initially painless erosion on or near the coronal sulcus.
A. Lymphogranuloma
B. Herpes simplex
C. Molluscum contagiosum
D. Syphilitic chancre A: CorrectLymphogranuloma venereum is a sexually transmitted
infection of the lymphatics whose initial lesion is a painless erosion at or near the coronal
sulcus.
Which disorder is suggested by the presence of painful superficial vesicles on the penis and
perineum?
A. Herpes simplex
B. Syphilitic chancre
C. Molluscum contagiosum
D. Lymphogranuloma A: CorrectGenital herpesis a sexually transmitted disease
characterized by superficial vesicles on the glans, penile shaft, or at the base of the penis.
Attempting to retract the foreskin is associated with:
, A. palpating for tender testes.
B. palpating for inguinal hernia.
C. checking for phimosis.
D. observing for hydrocele. C: CorrectOccasionally the foreskin is tight and cannot be
retracted. This condition is called phimosis and may occur during the first 6 years of life or as a
result of recurrent balanitis (inflammation of the glans) or balanoposthitis (inflammation of the
glans penis and prepuce).
Moving a finger along the vas deferens is associated with:
A. observing for hydrocele.
B. observing for phimosis.
C. palpating for tender testes.
D. palpating for inguinal hernia. D: CorrectExamine for evidence of a hernia. After asking the
patient to relax again, insert your examining finger into the lower part of the scrotum and carry
it upward along the vas deferens into the inguinal canal.
Which assessment is being made when the glans is pressed between the thumb and forefinger
and stripped?
A. Inspecting for urethral discharge
B. Palpating for inguinal hernia
