Passage / Scenario
A 2-month-old patient has a history of phimosisA 2-month-old patient has a history of phimosis. What statement by the father indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
The correct answer is C because pulling back the foreskin to clean it every week is inappropriate for a 2-month-old with phimosis. In infants, the foreskin is usually not retractable, and forcing it back can cause injury and complications. Choice A is incorrect because phimosis is not a normal finding and can lead to issues. Choice B is incorrect because the narrowing of the foreskin can lead to problems but not necessarily infections. Choice D is incorrect because circumcision is not the first-line treatment for phimosis in infants.
