Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Starting in adolescence, all males need to perform testicular self-examination once a month. This is the health promotion activity in which the nurse should focus for this educational session. The reproductive cycle might be more appropriate for adolescent females. Immunization schedule and socialization would be more appropriate for younger children and parents.

Answer to Question 2

A, E
Feedback:
Halitosis or bad breath is considered a significant body odor, which could be caused by poor dental hygiene, a lung infection, or a foreign body in respiratory tract. The nurse should focus the assessment on the lungs and the oral cavity. The urinary tract, reflexes, and abdomen will not help determine the cause for the patient's halitosis.
