  3. Extending the foot and observing for pain.
  4. Stimulating the sole of the foot.

Question 2

Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Adducting the foot and listening for a click is not a typical assessment.
Rationale 2: Clubfoot is suspected when the foot does not turn to a midline position or align readily.
Rationale 3: Extending the foot and observing for pain does not confirm or rule out clubfoot.
Rationale 4: Stimulating the sole of the foot elicits the plantar grasp reflex, and is not an appropriate assessment for clubfoot.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Weakness or atrophy of the penile muscle does not play a primary role in the inability to achieve erection.
Rationale 2: Decreased function of the seminiferous tubules does not play a primary role in the inability to achieve erection.
Rationale 3: An undescended testicle does not play a primary role in the inability to achieve erection.
Rationale 4: Poor circulation to the penis is the most logical cause because the penis becomes erect as result of innervation from the pudendal nerve, which causes its blood vessels to become engorged.
