The nurse should instruct the client to place the testosterone patch on the thigh. The patch should be applied to a clean, dry area of skin on the thigh, and the location should be rotated each time a new patch is applied to avoid skin irritation. The scrotum is not an appropriate location for a testosterone patch, as it can cause discomfort and pain. Placing the patch on the head or lower leg is also not appropriate.
