The nurse is assessing a male client diagnosed with gonorrhea.
Which symptoms would the nurse expect to find on assessment? (Select all that apply)

Choice A rationale

Redness and swelling at the urinary meatus can be a symptom of gonorrhea in men.

Choice B rationale

Dysuria, or painful urination, is a common symptom of gonorrhea in men.

Choice C rationale

White or yellow discharge from the penis is another common symptom of gonorrhea in men.

Choice D rationale

A brownish-red raised rash on the torso is not typically associated with gonorrhea. This symptom could be indicative of a different condition, such as a skin infection or an allergic reaction.

Choice E rationale

Cauliflower-like warts on the penis are not a symptom of gonorrhea. These are more commonly associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.

Choice A rationale

Thyrotoxicosis, also known as a thyroid storm, is a sudden and severe exacerbation of hyperthyroidism symptoms. It can indeed be triggered by infections or stress.

Choice B rationale

Hirsutism, the presence of excessive body and facial hair, is not associated with a sudden worsening of hyperthyroidism symptoms.

Choice C rationale

Myxedema refers to severe hypothyroidism, not hyperthyroidism. It does not describe a sudden worsening of hyperthyroidism symptoms.

Choice D rationale

Exophthalmos, or bulging eyes, is a symptom of hyperthyroidism, particularly Graves’ disease. However, it does not describe a sudden worsening of hyperthyroidism symptoms.
