NCLEX RN Exam Practice Practice Question
The school nurse planning to give a class on testicular self-examination (TSE) at a local high school should include which instruction to the participants?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: TSE is a self-screening examination for testicular cancer, which predominantly affects men in their late teens and twenties. The self-examination is performed once a month, as is breast self-examination. As an aid to remember to do it, the examination should be done on the same day each month. The scrotum is held in one hand and the testicle is rolled between the thumb and forefinger of the other hand. The self-examination should not be painful. It is easiest to do either during or after a warm shower (or bath) when the scrotum is relaxed.
