Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D
The client should not douche, have intercourse, or use tampons until the biopsy site is healed. The client should rest for 24 hours after the procedure and should not lift heavy objects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
Bleeding, pain, masses, and discharge are common health problems that bring a client to a health care provider. Sexual orientation is not considered a health problem. Sexual activity should be assessed as part of the client's history.
