A.   Actinic keratosis treatment with topical 5-FU does not increase the risk of infection to the extent that avoiding crowded places would be necessary.
B.   While 5-FU may be used to treat actinic keratosis, it does not necessarily prepare the lesion for surgical removal.

C.   There is no direct association between topical 5-FU treatment and anorexia.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. The position of the testicles is not typically indicative of testicular cancer, and further testing is not warranted based solely on this finding.
B. The difference in testicular position is not likely related to a hernia, and Steve's history and symptoms do not suggest hernia.
C. Testicular asymmetry, where one testicle hangs lower than the other, is a common and normal variation in many men.
D. Testicular asymmetry alone is not an indication for a scrotal ultrasound, and Steve's presentation does not raise suspicion for underlying pathology.

A. Tonsillitis B. Laryngitis C. Acute Otitis Media D. Allergic Rhinitis

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Tonsillitis typically presents with sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and inflamed tonsils, but it does not involve ear pain or tympanic membrane abnormalities.
