Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4

1. The cervix is located in such a manner that an x-ray is not likely to give good visualization of developed cancer cells.
2. A sigmoidoscopy visualizes the sigmoid colon.
3. An endoscopy is a direct inspection of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
4. The Pap smear is tissue used to directly visualize changes in cervical cells.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

1. The procedure might be embarrassing to the client, but it could be performed in a treatment room before returning the client to the room.
2. The reason for the private room is that radiation can emit rays outside the body and can be excreted through bodily fluids, posing a danger to another person in the room.
3. There is no evidence that this family requested a private room.
4. There is no evidence that this hospital has only private rooms.
