In Assessing a Neonate, the Nurse Notices That One Testicle

In assessing a neonate, the nurse notices that one testicle has not descended into the scrotal sac. What is the most appropriate response for the nurse as a result of this finding?

A) Document the findings and refer this neonate for further examination for an undescended testicle.
B) Place a finger over the upper inguinal ring and gently push downward to try to push the testicle into the scrotum.
C) Use a light source to transilluminate the affected scrotal sack to determine if fluid is preventing the descent of the testicle.
D) Insert the fifth finger into the inguinal ring to palpate for a hernia that may have prevented the testicle from descending.
