Assessing a patient

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your patient reports a palpable bulge “in my groin.” Upon palpation, this is confirmed as arising above the inguinal ligament and passing into the scrotum.

After considering your assigned case:

What condition(s) might you suspect?
What are the risk factors for this condition?
What further assessment should be performed?
What patient education would you provide if your suspected diagnosis is confirmed?
