Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
The testes produce sperm and testosterone. Cryptorchidism is a condition where a testicle is undescended. The client will be at an increased risk for testicular cancer. Cryptorchidism does not affect the ability to produce sperm. Telling the mother that the infant will do fine and have no problems is too broad and a potentially misleading statement.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
The nurse would palpate for an inguinal hernia by placing the fingers just below the line of pubic hair where the thigh and the scrotum meet.
