Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
After orchiopexy, the teen still has a high risk for testicular cancer and should perform testicular self-exams each month. The other actions are not warranted for this condition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Both medications are used in this condition. Tofranil cannot be used in children under the age of 6. The dose of Ditropan is 5 mg once daily and can be titrated upward to a maximum dose of 20 mg/day.
