Question 1 of 5
The school nurse is preparing a class on testicular cancer for male high school seniors. Which information regarding testicular self-examination should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B

The nurse is caring for a client with epididymitis secondary to a chlamydia infection. Which discharge instruction should the nurse discuss?
Correct Answer: A

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Exploratory laparoscopy is used to diagnose conditions like endometriosis, a common cause of severe dysmenorrhea. Bimanual exam is nonspecific, pregnancy tests rule out ectopic pregnancy, and ovarian biopsy is invasive and unrelated.

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause infertility or ectopic pregnancy, a critical long-term complication. Antibiotic completion, reporting, and AIDS myths are important but not complications.
