Answer to Question 1

B
Men may choose to perform monthly testicular exams until they are 40 years old. Colon cancer screening starts at age 50 years or older. Prostate exams are part of an annual health exam for middle adults. Even young adults should perform breast self-examination (although some practitioners question recommending it routinely). Whatever screening method is chosen, young adults do develop breast cancer; it is not a problem only for those past age 40.

Answer to Question 2

C
The Babinski reflex is elicited by stroking upward on the side of the sole of the foot. This is one of several reflexes that should be present at birth. Stoking the bottom of the foot is not an assessment of circulation to the feet. The neuromuscular system is not fully developed at birth, but reflexes are present. Because an infant is not able to report sensation, which is a subjective finding, this is not the purpose of the nurse's action.
