Answer to Question 1

1
Symptoms of a lower urinary tract infection include dysuria, frequency, urgency, hesitancy, cloudy urine, lower abdominal pain, chills, malaise, and mild fever (less than 101F). The other options are symptoms of upper urinary tract infection.

Answer to Question 2

2
When examining the testes, this portion of the examination can be used to teach the client about monthly testicular self-examination. This portion of the examination is not the best time to instruct the client regarding annual prostate examinations, colonoscopies, or the use of condoms.
