Which information should the nurse provide to the patient learning to perform a testicular self-examination?
1. Any painful lump should be reported immediately.
2. Tenderness of the scrotal sac contents should be reported.
3. Most men have one testicle that is significantly larger than the other.
4. It is best to do the examination upon arising on the designated day.

1 -- Any lump, painful or painless, warrants reporting to the healthcare provider. The scrotal sac contents routinely are somewhat tender. Testicles that are found to differ significantly in size should be reported to the healthcare provider. The time of day does not influence the examination’s findings.
