The nurse is teaching a male client who is curious about the functioning of the male reproductive tract. The nurse determines that learning has occurred when the client states:
 
  1. My prostate gland stores my sperm.
  2. The function of seminal fluid is to nourish my sperm.
  3. My hormones are formed in the prostate gland.
  4. Erection occurs as a result of stimulation of the central nervous system.

Question 2

The client asks the nurse why his testes are contracted at times and not at others. The nurse should explain to the client that:
 
  1. the testes will contract close to the body when exposed to cold.
  2. the testes contract when the parasympathetic system is triggered.
  3. the testes will relax in response to increased blood levels of androgen.
  4. the testes contract during ejaculation.
