Answer to Question 1

B
Postcoital testing is used to evaluate cervical mucus to determine adequacy of mucus and the ability of the sperm to travel within it. Tubal patency is evaluated using hysterosalpingograp hy, ultrasonography, or laparoscopy. Cervical structure is evaluated through vaginal examination, and tubal motility can be determined by hysterosalpingograp hy.

Answer to Question 2

B
The fundus should be one fingerbreadth below the umbilicus within 12 hours following birth. At 3 fingerbreadths, the nurse should suspect a distended bladder. The lochial drainage should be rubra (bright red bleeding) at this point. This is within normal limits. An indwelling Foley catheter draining less than 30 mL urine per hour would indicate possible dehydration or postpartal hemorrhage. The cramping is the normal characteristic of afterpains.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
