School-age boys
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is developing a health program for the parents of school-age boys. Which of the following information about pubescent changes should the nurse include in the program?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Gynecomastia commonly occurs during late puberty. This is correct because gynecomastia, which is the development of breast tissue in boys, is a common occurrence during puberty due to hormonal changes. This information is important for parents to be aware of so they can support their sons during this natural process.
A: Changes in the voice signal the beginning of puberty - This is incorrect because changes in voice (voice cracking) typically occur during mid-puberty, not necessarily at the beginning.
C: Puberty might be delayed if scrotal changes have not occurred by the age of 11 years - This is incorrect because the timing of puberty varies among individuals and scrotal changes alone are not a definitive indicator of delayed puberty.
D: Growth spurts in height occur toward the end of midpuberty - This is incorrect because growth spurts in height usually occur during mid-puberty, not toward the end.
