A 30-year-old man has been diagnosed with mumps orchitis. The nurse should educate the client that which of the following complications may occur?

A) Erectile dysfunction
B) Hematocele formation
C) Sterility
D) Penile atrophy


Ans: C
Feedback:
The residual effects seen after the acute phase of mumps orchitis include hyalinization of the seminiferous tubules and atrophy of the testes, along with impaired spermatogenesis that has the potential to result in sterility. Spermatogenesis is irreversibly impaired in approximately 30% of testes damaged by mumps orchitis. Penile atrophy, hematuria, and hematocele are not among the signs, symptoms, and sequelae of mumps orchitis.
