Which statement made by a client who has undergone a left orchiectomy for testicular cancer indicates correct understanding about testicular cancer?
A. "I will make sure my sons know how to perform TSE because they are at in-creased risk for this type of cancer."
B. "I will always use a condom, because I am at increased risk for acquiring a sex-ually transmitted disease."
C. "I will wear an athletic supporter and cup to prevent testicular cancer in my re-maining testicle."
D. "I will continue to perform TSE monthly on my remaining testicle."
D
Treatment (surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy) for testicular cancer does not protect the person from development of testicular cancer in the remaining testicle. A monthly TSE should be per-formed to monitor for changes in size, shape, or consistency of the testis.
