Question 1 of 5
A Nurse is caring for a 7-year-old child with sudden onset of testicular pain. The nurse is aware that the pain may be a testicular torsion and assesses for what?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Negative Prehn's sign. Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency where the spermatic cord twists, cutting off blood flow to the testicle, causing severe pain. Negative Prehn's sign refers to relief of pain when the affected testicle is lifted (opposite to epididymitis). This sign helps differentiate between testicular torsion and other causes of testicular pain.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they are not specific to testicular torsion. Rebound abdominal tenderness is seen in appendicitis, Kernig's sign indicates meningitis, and a round smooth non-tender mass in the scrotum could indicate a hydrocele or varicocele, not testicular torsion.
