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.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Hypospadias is present then the urethral meatus is on the ventral surface (underside), not the dorsal side of the penis toward the distal end.
B Correct. Hypospadias is a common congenital malformation in which the urethral meatus is on the ventral surface (underside) of the penis. The position of the urethral opening may vary, occurring at any point along the ventral surface of the penis or on the scrotum or perineum.
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.
D Incorrect. Hypospadias is a common congenital malformation in which the urethral meatus is on the ventral surface (underside) of the penis, not at the end of the ventral side of the penis, near, but not on the head of, the penis.
