Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
The patient's description is not consistent with herpes simplex. Herpes simplex lesions are typically painful. Nonpainful ulcerations are suggestive of syphilis. It will be important to assess the patient's sexual activity, but this line of questioning does not address the patient's most immediate questions and concerns. Genital warts present as fleshy, nonpainful growths.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
The endometrial biopsy is performed to identify endometrial hyperplasia or cancerous cells. The patient will likely have vaginal bleeding in the days after the procedure and is instructed to avoid intercourse while bleeding. The procedure may be uncomfortable, but the pain should not require the use of strong analgesics for several days afterwards. The menstrual cycle may be interrupted, but not for an extended period of time. Pads are indicated for any vaginal bleeding. Tampons are contraindicated.
