Answer to Question 1

C
Lesions must be removed 3 or 4 times a day. Topical or oral antibiotics are used. Scratching will promote the spread of the disease. The nurse should use aseptic methods to prevent the spread of infection.

C Incorrect. Hypospadias is a common congenital malformation in which the urethral meatus is on the ventral surface (underside) of the penis, not slightly under a larger-than-normal foreskin if uncircumcised or at the outer perimeter of the head of the penis if circumcised.
