Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Epispadias is a urethral defect in which the opening is on the dorsal surface of the penis. Hypospadias is a urethral defect in which the opening is on the ventral surface of the penis rather than at the end. Varicocele is a venous varicosity along the spermatic cord manifested as a scrotal swelling. Hydrocele is a benign condition in which fluid accumulates in the scrotal sac.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Hydrocele requires watchful waiting because it will usually resolve spontaneously on its own. Hydrocele is not associated with the development of infertility; a varicocele, if left untreated, can lead to infertility. Immediate surgery is warranted for testicular torsion. Ice packs to the scrotum are helpful in relieving pain associated with epididymitis.
