The nurse is teaching a 25-year-old male about the proper way of performing a testicular self-examination. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
  1. Testicular self-examination can be done any time of the month
  2. Testicular self-examination is best done during or after taking a warm shower
  3. Smooth lumps are expected findings
  4. Testicular self-examination is best done 12 hours after sexual intercourse
Explanation
Answer: B - Self-testicular examination is best done when the scrotal sacs are moist and relaxed, so it is recommended to do the examination during or after taking a warm shower. This self-examination should ideally be done on the same day every month. If the client feels a lump, whether it is smooth or not, he should immediately consult a physician.
