Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale:
1. Vigorous activities such as straddling toys, riding bicycles, or rough play should be avoided for up to 2 weeks following surgery, to promote healing and prevent injury.
2. The risk of testicular cancer is 3550 times greater in men with a history of cryptorchidism. Long-term planning includes teaching the child to perform monthly testicular examinations once puberty has been reached.
3. Orchiopexy is the surgical correction for cryptorchidism (failure of the testes to descend into the scrotal sac). Discharge instructions should include the information about the need for loose and nonrestrictive clothing to avoid pressure to the postop site.
4. A discussion of fertility and the possible need for fertility testing is important, since cryptorchidism increases the risk of infertility.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
