NURS 5432 MODULE 4 MEN'S HEALTH
EXAM WITH CORRECT QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS 2025
Cremasteric reflex - CORRECT-ANSWERSCremasteric reflex can be assessed by
lightly stroking or pinching the superior medial aspect of the thigh. An intact
cremasteric reflex causes brisk ipsilateral testicular retraction. Absence of
the cremasteric reflex is a sensitive but nonspecific finding for testicular
torsion. It can be absent on physical exam in normal testes. It should be
assessed after inspection and before palpation of the testicles.
Prehn sign - CORRECT-ANSWERSA positive Prehn sign is pain that is relieved by
the lifting of the testicle. If positive, it is more likely epididymitis than
testicular torsion.
Blue dot sign - CORRECT-ANSWERSTenderness limited to the upper pole of the
testis suggests torsion of a testicular appendage, especially when a hard,
tender nodule is palpable in this region. A small bluish discoloration known
as the "blue dot sign", may be visible through the skin in the upper pole. This
sign is virtually pathognomonic for appendiceal torsion when tenderness is
also present.
Why can prescribing testosterone be harmful? - CORRECT-ANSWERS· Testicular
shrinkage
· Sterility
· Acne
