Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
The presence of referred shoulder pain is anticipated after laparoscopic procedures. The discomfort is a result of the air injected into the abdominal cavity to promote visualization during the procedure. Laparoscopic procedures are often completed on an outpatient basis unless complications arise. Abdominal pain will be present due to the invasiveness of the surgical procedure. A laparoscopic gynecological (GYN) procedure may cause spotting immediately following the procedure.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
A woman who has not menstruated for 1 full year is considered menopausal. It is still possible for the woman to become pregnant during this period, and she should be instructed to use contraceptives for a total of 1 year after her last period to avoid pregnancy.
