A The woman needs a full bladder in order to elevate the uterus; therefore being
NPO is not appropriate.
B When the uterus is still in the pelvis, visualization may be difficult. It is
necessary to perform the test when the woman has a full bladder, which provides
a window through which the uterus and its contents can be viewed.
C A soapsuds enema is not necessary for this procedure.
D An abdominal prep is not necessary for this procedure.
