Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In order to prevent false interpretation, the client must not douche or have sexual intercourse for at least 24 hours before the Pap smear. Timing is important, with the test scheduled between the client's menstrual periods so that the menstrual flow does not interfere with laboratory analysis. The specimens are placed on a glass slide and sent to the laboratory for examination and cannot be interpreted immediately.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
66 mm Hg
