The nurse is instructing a client to perform a testicular self-examination (TSE). The nurse should provide the client with which information about the procedure?

ExplanationThe TSE is recommended monthly after a warm bath or shower when the scrotal skin is relaxed. The client should stand to examine the testicles. Using both hands, with fingers under the scrotum and thumbs on top, the client should gently roll the testicles, feeling for any lumps.
