While performing the genital assessment of a male client, a nurse observes that the client has curvature of the penis. Which condition does the nurse suspect in the client?
Peyronie's disease
Hypospadias
Phimosis
Orchitis
The Correct Answer is A
Choice A rationale: This is a condition that causes scar tissue to form in the penis, resulting in abnormal curvature, pain, and erectile dysfunction.
Choice B rationale: Hypospadias is a congenital defect in which the opening of the urethra is on the underside of the penis, not at the tip.
Choice C rationale: Phimosis is a condition in which the foreskin of the penis cannot be retracted fully, leading to inflammation and infection.
Choice D rationale: Orchitis is an inflammation of one or both testicles, usually caused by an infection.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Choice A rationale: Elevated T3 and T4 with low TSH levels are indicative of hyperthyroidism, not a side effect of radioactive iodine treatment.
Choice B rationale: One of the expected side effects of RAI treatment for hyperthyroidism is permanent hypothyroidism (or underactive thyroid, when the thyroid does not produce enough hormones). Elevated TSH levels with low T3 and T4 are indicative of hypothyroidism.
Choice C rationale: Low TSH, T3, and T4 levels are not typical outcomes of radioactive iodine treatment; typically, the treatment leads to a decrease in T3 and T4 with increased TSH levels.
Choice D rationale: Elevated TSH and low T3 is major side effect of radioactive iodine treatment for hyperthyroidism. However, it does not cause elevated T4 levels.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Choice A rationale: This is not accurate since the manifestations of facial nerve paralysis are observed on the contralateral side which in this case is the left side of the face hence the right facial nerve is paralyzed.
Choice B rationale: Facial nerve paralysis cause symptoms such as drooping of the eyelid, cheek or mouth as depicted in the above picture. The right facial nerve is paralyzed since the nerve innervates the contralateral side hence the effects are demonstrated on the
left side of the face.
Choice C rationale: trigeminal nerve paralysis causes symptoms such as weakness in muscles of mastication, altered sensation over the face and tongue, and hearing impairment and not the symptoms depicted above.
Choice D rationale: trigeminal nerve paralysis causes symptoms such as weakness in muscles of mastication, altered sensation over the face and tongue, and hearing impairment and not the symptoms depicted above.
