Question

question 21
which statement by the patient requires correction by the medical assistant about performing a testicular self - exam (tse)?
“i should perform a tse every month.”
“i should perform a tse after a cold shower or bath.”
“i should use two hands when performing a tse.”
“i should report any lumps or changes i feel to the doctor.”

Explanation:

A testicular self - exam (TSE) should be done after a warm shower or bath as warm temperatures relax the scrotal skin, making it easier to feel for any abnormalities. Performing it after a cold shower or bath is incorrect. Performing a TSE monthly, using two hands, and reporting any lumps or changes to the doctor are all correct practices.

Answer:

"I should perform a TSE after a cold shower or bath."
