Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
When one or both testes fail to lower into the scrotum, the condition is termed cryptorchidism. Acute scrotal pain may indicate a testicular torsion (twisting), which necessitates immediate surgery to preserve testicular function.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Increased BUN can indicate dehydration, renal disease, and/or need for steroid therapy.
