Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. "You should notify your provider if your testes are firm and egg shaped." This statement does not provide specific guidance on when or how to perform the examination. It also describes a normal shape of the testes.

B. This is the correct statement. Performing the testicular self-examination following a warm shower helps relax the scrotal tissue, making it easier to detect any abnormalities or changes.

C. "If you feel a hard lump, wait 1 month and retest yourself." This is not advisable. If a hard lump is detected during a testicular self-examination, the individual should promptly notify their healthcare provider for further evaluation.

D. "You should perform the examination once every other month." While regular
testicular self-examinations are important, it is generally recommended to perform them monthly, not once every other month.

A. Gonorrhea B. Bacterial vaginosis trichomoniasis C. Genital herpes simplex virus D. Human papilloma virus

Correct Answer is A

A. Gonorrhea is a nationally notifiable sexually transmitted infection (STI). This means that healthcare providers are required to report cases of gonorrhea to public health authorities to track and monitor the spread of the disease.

C. Genital herpes simplex virus is a common STI but is not nationally notifiable.
