Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
A colposcopy is a microscopic examination of the lower genital tract using a magnifying instrument. Use of a microphone-like device over the abdomen describes an ultrasound. Obtaining tissue scrapings that are examined under a microscope describes a Pap smear. Insertion of a device under anesthesia near the umbilicus describes a biopsy obtained via laparoscopy.

other anticonvulsant medications.
