    The nurse is reviewing the treatment plan with the parents of a newborn with hypospadias. Which statement should the nurse include in the teaching when describing this disorder?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Circumcision is often delayed in newborns with hypospadias because the foreskin may be needed for the surgical repair of the urethra. B. While surgery is necessary, it is not typically an emergency; it is planned and performed later in infancy. C. In hypospadias, the urethral opening is located on the underside (ventral side) of the penis, not the top. D. Undescended testicles (cryptorchidism) are a separate condition from hypospadias.
