Question 3 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.
