Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
During laparoscopy, a small incision is made in the area of the umbilicus, and the abdomen is then distended (insufflated) with approximately 2 L of carbon dioxide or oxygen and a laparoscope is inserted into the peritoneal cavity. During culdoscopy, an endoscope is passed through the vaginal wall behind the cervix after a small incision is made in the posterior vaginal cul-de-sac. The colposcope is a lighted, magnifying speculum that is inserted into the vaginal vault. A cervical biopsy involves the microscopic examination of a small piece of cervical tissue.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D, E
Feedback:
The complete blood count (CBC) is the common analysis of blood that provides diagnostic information. The components of a CBC are RBC count, hematocrit, hemoglobin, RBC indices, WBC, WBC differential count, and blood smear.
