One risk factor for undescended testes is intrauterine lead exposure.In this country,the most common source of lead is from lead-based paint in older homes (built prior to 1978),lead-contaminated house dust and soil,and vinyl products.The nurse should assess for sources of lead exposure.The other questions are not relevant.
