An 8-year-old child is diagnosed with balanoposthitis. What will the nurse most likely assess in this disorder?
A) Reduced production of sperm
B) Pallor of the prepuce of the penis
C) Bloody urethral discharge and pain on urination
D) Denuded, reddened surface of the glans of the penis
D
Feedback:
Balanoposthitis is inflammation of the glans and prepuce of the penis. The prepuce and glans appear red and swollen; there may be a purulent discharge. The nurse is unable to determine sperm production without a sperm count. The child may have difficulty voiding because of crusting at the meatal opening and because acidic urine touching the denuded surface of the glans causes pain. A bloody urethral discharge is not associated with this disorder.
