The nurse is providing care to a male infant who is diagnosed with hypospadias. Which clinical manifestation does the nurse anticipate when assessing this infant?
1. A urethral meatus that is located on the ventral surface of the penis
2. The presence of foreskin
3. A small opening or a fissure that extends the entire length of the penis
4. An opening on the dorsal surface of the penis
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: For an infant diagnosed with hypospadias, the nurse would anticipate a urethral meatus that is located on the ventral surface of the penis. Infants diagnosed with hypospadias may also have a partial absence of the foreskin. A small opening or a fissure that extends the entire length of the penis or an opening on the dorsal side of the penis would be expected for an infant diagnosed with epispadias.
