Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The follow-up visit for removal of the plastic tubing is in approximately 3 weeks. After the Word catheter is inserted, the balloon tip is inflated and it is left in place for 4 to 6 weeks.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
During the second half of the menstrual cycle, the formation of progesterone in the corpus luteum causes the glands of the uterine endometrium to become corkscrew or twisted in appearance and dilated. The uterine endometrium is thin and transparent immediately after the end of the menstrual cycle. The uterine endometrium does not become thick and purple in color because of estrogen stimulation. The uterine endometrium does not become twisted and ragged because of follicle-stimulating hormone.
