Which client statement indicates understanding about post-orchiectomy care for testicular cancer?
a. "I will avoid contact sports to prevent in-jury and development of cancer in my re-maining testis."
b. "I will always use a condom because I am at increased risk for acquiring a sexually transmitted disease."
c. "I will wear an athletic supporter and cup to prevent testicular cancer in my remain-ing testicle."
d. "I will continue to perform testicular self-examination (TSE) monthly on my remaining testicle."
D
Treatment (e.g., surgery, radiation, chemotherapy) for testicular cancer does not protect the per-son from development of testicular cancer in the remaining testicle. A monthly TSE should be performed to monitor for changes in size, shape, or consistency of the testis. The other statements are inaccurate. Testicular cancer is not caused by trauma, cannot be prevented by an athletic cup, and does not cause increased risk for sexually transmitted diseases.
