Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The longer the testis is exposed to higher body heat, the greater the likelihood of damage. To preserve fertility, surgery should be done at an early age. Surgical intervention is the treatment of choice. Simple orchiopexy is usually performed as an outpatient procedure. The surgical procedure restores the testes to the scrotum. This helps the boy to have both testes in the scrotum by school age. Sexual reassignment is not indicated when the testes are not descended.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Phimosis is the narrowing or stenosis of the preputial opening of the foreskin. Chordee is the ventral curvature of the penis. Epispadias is the meatal opening on the dorsal surface of the penis. Hypospadias is a congenital condition in which the urethral opening is located anywhere along the ventral surface of the penis.
