Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Couples are not considered for infertility treatment until they have tried to conceive for at least one year. Temperature tracking for ovulation and frequent intercourse are suggested when trying to conceive. The number of healthcare providers the couple has been to is not relevant information in this situation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Undescended testes, or cryptochidism, is common in preterm infants, but should resolve spontaneously by one year of age. If unresolved, the condition can lead to infertility in the male and put him at greater risk for testicular cancer. This abnormal finding should be reported to the healthcare provider. Previous surgeries and voiding patterns are not relevant to this situation, and palpation will not be possible.
