The nurse is examining the glans and knows which finding is normal for this area?
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




a. The meatus may have a slight discharge when the glans is compressed.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




b. Hair is without pest inhabitants.
mi mi mi mi




c. The skin is wrinkled and without lesions.
mi mi mi mi mi mi




d. Smegma may be present under the foreskin of an uncircumcised male. - answer>>d. Smegma
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




may be present under the foreskin of an uncircumcised male.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




Rationale: The glans looks smooth and without lesions and does not have hair. The meatus
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




should not have any discharge when the glans is compressed. Some cheesy smegma may have
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




collected under the foreskin of an uncircumcised male.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




When performing a genitourinary assessment, the nurse notices that the urethral meatus is
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




ventrally positioned. This finding is:
mi mi mi mi mi




a. Called hypospadias. mi




b. A result of phimosis.
mi mi mi




c. Probably due to a stricture. mi mi mi mi




d. Often associated with aging. - answer>>a. Called hypospadias.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




Rationale: Normally, the urethral meatus is positioned just about centrally. Hypospadias is the
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




ventral location of the urethral meatus. The position of the meatus does not change with
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




aging. Phimosis is the inability to retract the foreskin. A stricture is a narrow opening of the
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




meatus.

When the nurse is performing a genital examination on a male patient, which action is correct?
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




a. Auscultating for the presence of a bruit over the scrotum mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi

,b. Palpating for the vertical chain of lymph nodes along the groin, inferior to the inguinal
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




ligament
mi

,c. Palpating the inguinal canal only if a bulge is present in the inguinal region during inspection
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




d. Having the patient shift his weight onto the left (unexamined) leg when palpating for a hernia
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




on the right side - answer>>d. Having the patient shift his weight onto the left (unexamined) leg
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




when palpating for a hernia on the right side
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




Rationale: When palpating for the presence of a hernia on the right side, the male patient is
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




asked to shift his weight onto the left (unexamined) leg. Auscultating for a bruit over the
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




scrotum is not appropriate. When palpating for lymph nodes, the horizontal chain is palpated.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




The inguinal canal should be palpated whether a bulge is present or not.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




The nurse is aware of which statement to be true regarding the incidence of testicular cancer?
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




a. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 30 to 50 years.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




b. The early symptoms of testicular cancer are pain and induration.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




c. Men with a history of cryptorchidism are at the greatest risk for the development of
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




testicular cancer.
mi mi




d. The cure rate for testicular cancer is low. - answer>>c. Men with a history of cryptorchidism
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




are at the greatest risk for the development of testicular cancer.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




Rationale: Men with undescended testicles (cryptorchidism) are at the greatest risk for the
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




development of testicular cancer. The overall incidence of testicular cancer is rare. Although
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




testicular cancer has no early symptoms, when detected early and treated before
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




metastasizing, the cure rate is almost 100%.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




A 2-year-old boy has been diagnosed with physiologic cryptorchidism. Considering this
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




diagnosis, during assessment the nurse will most likely observe:
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




a. Testes that are hard and painful to palpation.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




b. Atrophic scrotum and a bilateral absence of the testis.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




c. Absence of the testis in the scrotum, but the testis can be milked down.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




d. Testes that migrate into the abdomen when the child squats or sits cross-legged. - answer>>c.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




Absence of the testis in the scrotum, but the testis can be milked down.
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi

, Rationale: Migratory testes (physiologic cryptorchidism) are common because of the strength
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




of the cremasteric reflex and the small mass of the prepubertal testes. The affected side has a
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




normally developed scrotum and the testis can be milked down. The other responses are not
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




correct.

A 15-year-old boy is seen in the clinic for complaints of dull pain and pulling in the scrotal area. On
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




examination, the nurse palpates a soft, irregular mass posterior to and above the testis on the
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




left. This mass collapses when the patient is supine and refills when he is upright. This
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




description is consistent with:
mi mi mi mi




a. Epididymitis.

b. Spermatocele.

c. Testicular torsion. mi




d. Varicocele. - answer>>d. Varicocele. mi mi mi




Rationale:A varicocele consists of dilated, tortuous varicose veins in the spermatic cord caused
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




by incompetent valves within the vein. Symptoms include dull pain or a constant pulling or
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




dragging feeling, or the individual may be asymptomatic. When palpating the mass, the
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




examiner will feel a soft, irregular mass posterior to and above the testis that collapses when
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




the individual is supine and refills when the individual is upright. (See Table 24-6 for more
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




information and for the descriptions of the other options.)
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




The nurse is performing a genitourinary assessment on a 50-year-old obese male laborer. On
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




examination, the nurse notices a painless round swelling close to the pubis in the area of the
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




internal inguinal ring that is easily reduced when the individual is supine. These findings are
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




most consistent with a(n)
mi mi hernia. mi mi mi




a. Scrotal

b. Femoral

c. Direct inguinal mi




d. Indirect inguinal - answer>>c. Direct inguinal mi mi mi mi mi




Rationale: Direct inguinal hernias occur most often in men over the age of 40 years. It is an
mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi mi




acquired weakness brought on by heavy lifting, obesity, chronic cough, or ascites. The direct
