Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
The male scrotum is normally asymmetric due to the longer length of the left spermatic cord. This finding does not need further subjective data from the client or need to be reported to the healthcare provider. Although the scrotum does drop away from the body in elevated temperatures, this will not change its asymmetrical appearance.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Genital herpes lesions present as painful ulcerations. Carcinoma lesions are nodular or ulcerative. Genital warts are soft, painless, fleshy growths. Syphilis produces non-painful ulcers called chancres.
