The nurse is teaching a client how to perform monthly testicular self-examination (TSE) and states that it is best to perform the procedure right after showering. This statement is made by the nurse based on the knowledge that:
A.
The client is more likely to remember to perform the TSE when in the nude
B.
When the scrotum is exposed to cool temperatures, the testicles become large and bulky
C.
The scrotum will be softer and more relaxed after a warm shower, making the testicles easier to palpate
D.
The examination will be less painful at this time
Suggested Answer:C🗳️
