Question 4 of 5
What procedure does a nurse use to assess the inguinal ring of a male patient for a hernia?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because the nurse should assess the inguinal ring with the patient standing. This position allows gravity to aid in the detection of a hernia. By asking the patient to cough, intra-abdominal pressure increases, making any bulge more noticeable. Palpating for a bulge while the patient coughs helps to confirm the presence of a hernia. Choice A is incorrect because assessing the inguinal ring with the patient lying supine does not utilize gravity to assist in detecting a hernia. Choice B is incorrect because inserting a gloved finger into the lower part of the scrotum is not a proper technique for assessing the inguinal ring for a hernia in a male patient. Choice C is incorrect because asking the patient to lie on the side not being assessed does not provide the optimal position for assessing the inguinal ring for a hernia.
Question 5 of 5
A patient with testicular torsion is experiencing which abnormality?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Twisting of the testicle and spermatic cord. Testicular torsion is the twisting of the spermatic cord, leading to decreased blood flow to the testicle. This causes severe pain and swelling. Choices A, C, and D do not accurately describe the specific abnormality seen in testicular torsion. Choice A describes varicocele, choice C describes a spermatocele, and choice D describes hydrocele, which are different conditions altogether.
