Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 5
When preparing to obtain an endocervical swam specimen the nurse will need to have microscopic slides, cytobrush, and a fixative. The cell specimens are obtained using a cytobrush. The slides will be used to place the specimen on. The fixative will secure the specimen. The cotton applicator will not be used in place of the cytobrush as it is not as effective in obtaining cells. Saline is used to moisten a cotton-tipped applicator but not used with the cytobrush.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Clients who have had hysterectomies should have the surgical stump scraped as part of the examination. Important cellular specimens must be obtained from the cervical stump. Deferring the scrape, using the walls of the vagina, or telling the client the examination is not needed would reduce the client's ability to have a comprehensive pelvic examination.
