Q4. When explaining the plan of care to the parents of an infant with an undescended testis, the nurse should tell the parents about which as a nonsurgical treatment method?

  1. A trial of human chorionic gonadotrophic hormone
  2. A trial of adrenocorticotropic hormone
  3. Use of several warm baths each day
  4. Frequent stimulation of the cremasteric reflex
Show answer and explanation

Answer: A. A trial of human chorionic gonadotrophic hormone

A trial of human chorionic gonadotrophin may be given to stimulate descent of the affected testis. A trial of adrenocorticotropic hormone will not cause the testis to descend. The cremasteric reflex results in the testis being drawn up, the opposite of the intended effect. Application of warmth, such as warm baths, although soothing and relaxing for the infant, would have little or no effect on stimulating the testis to descend.

Acquired causes of CHF – viral myocarditis, acute rheumatic carditis (school age), dilated cardiomyopathy, doxorubicin cardiotoxicity, SVT, severe anemia, acute glomerulonephritis hypertension.
