Answer to Question 1

C
Testicular self-examinations are best done after a warm bath or shower when the scrotal skin is relaxed. The patient should report lumps of any size to the health care provider, perform monthly self-examinations, and roll each testicle between the thumb and fingers.

Answer to Question 2

B
Angina pectoris (chest pain) occurs when blood supply to the heart is decreased or totally ob-structed. Pain results from ischemia (inadequate blood and oxygen supply).
