Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
The goal of the treatment for testicular torsion is to untwist the spermatic cord and reestablish normal blood flow to the testicle. The testicle may be manually untwisted to promote blood flow. If this is unsuccessful, the client may need an orchiopexy or a surgical procedure to untwist the testicle. If surgical treatment occurs within 6 hours of the onset of pain, the testicle is salvaged. If treatment is delayed for 12 hours or more, the testicle will begin to necrose and will need to be removed. Pain medication is needed for this disorder. Ice and a scrotal support are used for this disorder. No medications alone will cure this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

1
Age-related changes to the muscular system include the loss of elasticity of the ligaments and tendons. The ligaments and tendons shorten, and the client experiences stiffness, loss of flexibility, and loss of range of motion. The client most likely does not have a reduction in blood and nerve supply to the hips. The client would not be able to bear weight on the legs if hairline fractures were present in the hips.
