reaching puberty. If you are teaching a patient how to do a testicular self-examination,
which of the following do you tell him?
"Examine your testicles when you are cold because this makes them more sensitive."
"Make sure your hands are dry to create friction."
"If you feel firmness above and behind the testicle, make an appointment."
"Make an appointment if you note any hard lumps directly on the testicle, regardless of
whether they are tender." - answer"Make an appointment if you note any hard lumps
directly on the testicle, regardless of whether they are tender."
