The nurse cares for a neonate born at 24 weeks gestation. The neonate’s parent is concerned because the neonate has empty scrotal sacs. Which is the nurse’s best response? “There is a good chance the testes will descend in about 2 weeks, which is normal.” “Many neonates are born without descended testicles. It is not a reason for concern.” “This condition is known as cryptorchidism, and it can reduce fertility later in life.” “Testicles do not fully descend until full term, or about 37 weeks gestation.”
