Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
It is not recommended for a patient to perform a testicular self-examination after every ejaculation. Perform testicular self-examination after a bath or shower when the scrotum is warm and most relaxed. The testes should feel smooth and be firm to the touch. The epididymis feels like a soft tube.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Nursing interventions are mainly supportive. The presence of muscle weakness, joint pain, or stiffness warrants assessment of the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs).
