The clinic nurse is caring for a young woman seeking contraception because she has recently married and become sexually active. The teen states, "The opening of my husband's penis isn't at the tip; it's around the corner below the tip

He tells me that he was born that way. Will that cause problems if we want to have children?" What is the best response for the nurse to give? "This variation is called:
1. "Epispadias. It is not likely to impact his fertility."
2. "Epispadias. It will likely cause him to be infertile."
3. "Hypospadias. It is not likely to impact his fertility."
4. "Hypospadias. It will likely cause him to be infertile."


Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Epispadias is the condition where the urethral opening is on the upper aspect of the penis. The patient is describing hypospadias, when the urethral opening is on the lower side of the penis. Mild hypospadias, when the urethral opening is on the glans of the penis, does not impact fertility.
Rationale 2: Epispadias is the condition where the urethral opening is on the upper aspect of the penis. The patient is describing hypospadias, when the urethral opening is on the lower side of the penis. Mild hypospadias, when the urethral opening is on the glans of the penis, does not impact fertility.
Rationale 3: The patient is describing hypospadias, which is the urethral opening on the lower aspect of the penis. Mild hypospadias, when the urethral opening is on the glans of the penis, does not impact fertility.
Rationale 4: The patient is describing hypospadias, where the urethral opening is on the lower side of the penis. Mild hypospadias, where the urethral opening is on the glans of the penis, does not impact fertility.
