Answer to Question 1

A
Cryptorchidism can reduce fertility, and corrective surgery does not guarantee increased fertility or reduce the risk of tumors. The testes descend to the scrotum during fetal life.

Answer to Question 2

Feedback
1. CAGE is not an assessment tool used for alcohol withdrawal.
2. CINA is the assessment tool used to assess the severity narcotics withdrawal.
3. The Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for Alcohol (CIWA-Ar) is an assessment tool used to quantify the severity of alcohol withdrawal syndrome as well as to monitor and medicate patients going through withdrawal. A score of 8 points or fewer corresponds with mild withdrawal. A score of 9 to 15 points corresponds to moderate withdrawal. Scores of 15 or greater correspond to severe withdrawal and an increased risk of delirium tremors and seizures.
4. The SCOFF tool is used to assess patients with eating disorders.
