Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Inflation of the oviducts with carbon dioxide (Rubin's test) may be done to determine patency (openness) of the tubes. An x-ray study called a hysterosalpingogram looks for problems within the fallopian tubes and uterus. Sometimes, a light curettage (scraping) of the uterus is performed to determine whether the uterine lining is undergoing the normal changes necessary to receive a fertilized ovum.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Stage 1 is pressure-related alteration of intact skin. Stage 2 is loss of epidermis with damage into the dermis that appears as a shallow crater/blister with red/pink wound bed and no sloughing. In stage 3, subcutaneous tissues are involved and subcutaneous fat may be visible with no bone, tendon, or muscle exposed. In stage 4 is seen extensive damage to underlying structures, full-thickness tissue loss with exposed bones, tendons, or muscles.
