Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct statements that indicate appropriate understanding are B, C, and D. The client should perform the testicular self-exam monthly to detect any changes that may occur. It is easier to perform the exam in a warm room or shower to help relax the scrotal sac. Gentle pressure should be applied to each testicle to feel the area. It is not normal to feel testicular pain during the exam, so statement E is incorrect. Statement A is incorrect because hardened areas may indicate the presence of cancer or other abnormalities and should be reported to a healthcare provider.
