Some suggestions that may improve male health are information about how their bodies function, what is normal, what is abnormal, what action to take, and the contributions of proper nutrition and exercise; self-care instruction, including testicular and genital self-examination; help with fathering; and recognition that feelings of confusion and uncertainty in a time of rapid social change are normal and that they may mark the onset of healthy adaptation to change. Male nurses can be extremely effective in such an endeavor. Providing assistance in learning how to control emotions and behaviors, encouraging the involvement in organized team sports, and the recognition of reality factors would not be the most important strategies to implement with adolescent males?
