Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, E

The client is complaining of a strange discharge from her vagina. A Papanicolaou smear would be the most helpful in diagnosing the cause of that symptom. The client is also complaining of stinging with urination. A urinalysis would be helpful to rule out a urinary tract infection as the cause for the urinary pain. The other diagnostic tests may or may not help diagnose this client's health problem.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

Normally, palpation of the penis should not cause tenderness. The client's complaint of pain could indicate a urethral stricture. Redness or lesions on the penis could indicate inflammatory disease. Acute epididymis and acute orchitis are associated with a tender scrotum.
