A nurse is planning to administer immunizations to a 2-month -old infant. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to decrease the infant pain.

Choice A rationale

Performing the examination once every other month is not the recommended frequency. It is generally recommended that males perform a testicular self-examination monthly.

Choice B rationale

Notifying your provider if your testes are firm and egg-shaped may not be necessary, as this is generally considered a normal characteristic of testes. However, any changes in size, shape, or consistency should be reported.

Choice C rationale

Waiting a month after feeling a hard lump is not recommended. If a hard lump is detected during a self-

examination, it should be reported to a healthcare provider immediately, as it could be a sign of testicular cancer.

Choice D rationale

Performing the examination following a warm shower is recommended. The warmth relaxes the scrotum, making it easier to examine the testicles.

Choice A rationale

Pinpoint pupils are not a typical finding in an adolescent who has inhaled gasoline. Pinpoint pupils are more commonly associated with opioid use.

Choice B rationale

Hypothermia is not a typical finding in an adolescent who has inhaled gasoline. Inhalation of gasoline can cause central nervous system depression, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, and ataxia.

Choice C rationale

Ataxia, or lack of muscle coordination, can occur after inhaling gasoline. The gasoline vapors can depress the central nervous system, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, and ataxia.

Choice D rationale

Hyperactive reflexes are not a typical finding in an adolescent who has inhaled gasoline. Inhalation of gasoline can cause central nervous system depression, leading to symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, and ataxia.
