Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The Bethesda System terminology describes categories of epithelial cell abnormalities. The categories are ASC (atypical squamous cells), LSIL (low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions), HSIL (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions), AGC (atypical glandular cells), and AIS (adenocarcinoma in situ). Treatment for cancer of the cervix includes surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or a combination of these. The other options are not appropriate for this situation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Depo-Provera is used to treat endometriosis, but one undesirable side effect is weight gain. Danazol (Danocrine) is also used to treat this condition, but side effects of acne and facial hair growth cause this medication to be prescribed less often. Cold intolerance is not a common side effect of medications used to treat endometriosis.
