Question

Read the following excerpt from a patient's health record:

Plan:
Since there is significant risk for cancer, we will schedule Mr. Joules for a radical orchidectomy. We will send samples to Pathology to confirm the diagnosis and staging. I outlined the general treatment and follow-up plan with Mr. Joules. Today, we will check a sperm count to establish a baseline, as azoospermia and oligospermia are risks of surgery.

Which of the following statements is NOT true, given the health record information?
A. The patient will undergo a spermatolysis.
B. The patient is at significant risk for testicular cancer.
C. If the patient lacks living sperm, this is a risk for surgery.
D. The patient will be scheduled to have his testicle removed.
E. A low sperm count is a risk for surgery.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - A.The patient will undergo a spermatolysis

Step-by-step explanation:

Azoospermia and oligospermia are the condition of absence of the motile and viable sperms in the body of an individual. There are many causes that can lead to these conditions such as testicular cancer. These surgeries have many risk including removing of testes, lack of sperms that are viable, however, spermatolysis is not one of them.
