Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Family history is a significant risk factor, with a 50 risk of developing the disease if two or more first- or second-degree relatives have site-specific ovarian cancer. Protective factors include having a child before the age of 25. Early menarche, antibiotic therapy, and asymptomatic menstrual periods are not considered risk factors for ovarian cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
A loop diathermy technique or loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) allows simultaneous diagnosis and treatment of dysplastic lesions found on colposcopy. This procedure is performed in the office and uses a wire for both cutting and coagulation during excision of the dysplastic region of the cervix. Pap smears, colposcopy, and cervical biopsy are used to diagnose, not manage conditions.
