Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
If there has been an abdominal incision, there may be further restrictions on heavy lifting (nothing over 10 lb).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Shining a flashlight from behind the scrotum and visualizing the testes surrounded by fluid is called transillumination. That process is the simple diagnostic test for hydrocele.
