Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
The Pederson speculum is narrower and is used for adolescents or adult women who are virgins, have never had a baby, or are postmenopausal with vaginal atrophy. The Graves speculum is used for the adult woman. The Killian and Vienna specula are used to examine the nasal passages.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Hegar sign refers to a softening of the lower uterine segment or isthmus during pregnancy. Skin changes during pregnancy may include linea nigra or chloasma, not Hegar sign. Softening of the cervix during pregnancy is referred to as Goodell sign. Changes in color of the mucous membranes of the vagina during pregnancy are referred to as Chadwick sign.
