The parents of a newborn with hypospadias are anxious about the timing of the surgical correction. What information should the nurse share with them?

Choice A rationale While it’s important to prevent bladder infections, performing surgery within one month is not typically recommended for hypospadias. Choice B rationale Postponing the repair until the child reaches school age is not typically recommended. The fear of castration is not usually a consideration in the timing of hypospadias repair. Choice C rationale The repair should ideally be completed before the child is toilet-trained. This allows for normal urinary function and reduces potential psychological impact. Choice D rationale Waiting until the child reaches sexual maturity is not typically recommended. Early intervention allows for normal development and function.
