A nurse is caring for a 28-year-old patient who is taking exogenous testosterone for treatment of cryptorchidism. What statement by this patient would lead the nurse to believe that patient teaching has been ineffective?

Check explanation.

Explanation:

When someone(whether it is been noticed as a baby or when the person is an adult) has one or both of the testicles in the wrong way or position in the scrotal sac or scrotum. Another way of saying this is that the testicles are not descended or say the testicles are undescended. People with this kind of disorder has the tendency of having cancer ans infertility.

Although, the use of exogenous testosterone increases sperm count in some people, the exogenous testosterone does not increase the level of sperm count in some people too. So, the patient should not think that by using exogenous testosterone, it Should increases sperm count and if the 28-year-old patient says something about an increase in sperm count because the he is using exogenous testosterone to treat cryptorchidism then, the teaching of the nurse has been ineffective.

low context culture   (lc.):

association:    

relationships begin and end quickly. many people can be inside one's circle; circle's boundary is not clear.

things get done by following procedures and paying attention to the goal.

one's identity is rooted in oneself and one's accomplishments.

social structure is decentralized; responsibility goes further down (is not concentrated at the top).

interaction:

low use of nonverbal elements. message is carried more by words than by nonverbal means.

verbal message is explicit. context is less important than words.

verbal message is direct; one spells things out exactly.

communication is seen as a way of exchanging information, ideas, and opinions.  

disagreement is depersonalized. one withdraws from conflict with another and gets on with the task. focus is on rational solutions, not personal ones. one can be explicit about another's bothersome behavior.

territoriality:

space is compartmentalized and privately owned; privacy is important, so people are farther apart.

temporality:

things are scheduled to be done at particular times, one thing at a time. what is important is that activity is done efficiently.

change is fast. one can make change and see immediate results.

time is a commodity to be spent or saved. one’s time is one’s own.

learning:

reality is fragmented and compartmentalized. one source of information is used to develop knowledge. thinking is inductive, proceeds from specific to general. focus is on detail.

learning occurs by following explicit directions and explanations of others.

an individual orientation is preferred for learning and problem solving.

speed is valued. how efficiently something is learned is important.
