Question

which instructions will a medical assistant coach a patient on when performing a testicular self - exam? select all that apply. \check for any lumps in the testicular region of the scrotum.\ \examine the testicular area every month for early detection.\ \take the prescribed analgesics if there is any pain in the future.\
eport any inflammation on the glans penis as it might be cancerous.\ \contact the provider if there is a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum.\

Explanation:

When coaching a patient on testicular self - exam, the focus is on the testicles and scrotum for early detection of abnormalities. Checking for lumps in the testicular region of the scrotum is correct as lumps can be a sign of cancer. Examining the testicular area monthly helps with early detection. Reporting heaviness in the scrotum can indicate a problem. Taking prescribed analgesics is not related to the self - exam process. Reporting inflammation on the glans penis is about a different area and not part of testicular self - exam instructions.

Answer:

"Check for any lumps in the testicular region of the scrotum."
"Examine the testicular area every month for early detection."
"Contact the provider if there is a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum."
