For what will the nurse assess an adolescent male client who is experiencing delayed puberty?
1. Addison disease
2. Hypogonadism
3. Pheochromocytoma
4. Hypothyroidism
Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Addison disease would not be assessed in a male adolescent experiencing delayed puberty.
Rationale 2: Lack of sufficient testosterone secretion by the testes results in a condition called male hypogonadism. In young men, lack of sufficient testosterone secretion can lead to delayed onset of puberty.
Rationale 3: Pheochromocytoma is not related to delayed puberty in an adolescent male.
Rationale 4: Hypothyroidism is not a cause of delayed puberty in an adolescent male.
Global Rationale: Lack of sufficient testosterone secretion by the testes results in a condition called male hypogonadism. In young men, lack of sufficient testosterone secretion can lead to delayed onset of puberty. Addison disease, pheochromocytoma, and hypothyroidism are not causes of delayed onset of puberty.
