Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, E

The client is complaining of a strange discharge from her vagina. A Papanicolaou smear would be the most helpful in diagnosing the cause of that symptom. The client is also complaining of stinging with urination. A urinalysis would be helpful to rule out a urinary tract infection as the cause for the urinary pain. The other diagnostic tests may or may not help diagnose this client's health problem.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

Normally, palpation of the penis should not cause tenderness. The client's complaint of pain could indicate a urethral stricture. Redness or lesions on the penis could indicate inflammatory disease. Acute epididymis and acute orchitis are associated with a tender scrotum.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
