The caregiver of a 1-year-old son calls the nurse, upset that his wife has just told him that their son is being given a hormone. His wife says that the pediatrician called it human chorionic gonadotropic hormone but that is all she understood. The nurse most accurately clarifies the caregiver's question by making which statement regarding the son's treatment? a) "Without the hormone your son will have fluid that will collect in his scrotum."
b) "Your child's testes have not dropped, so the hormone is being administered to avoid causing degeneration until they do."
c) "Without the treatment your child's gonads will not reach normal size."
d) "The doctor is hoping that the hormone will cause your son's undropped testes to move into their proper place."
