Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
The patient is positioned supine with the right side slightly elevated by a wedge or small roll to tilt the uterus to the left. The operating bed may be tilted 30 degrees to the left. A slight Trendelenburg's position assists venous return.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
Clear, straw-colored peritoneal fluid is a negative finding. In a culdocentesis, blood, fluid, or pus in the cul-de-sac is aspirated by needle via the posterior vaginal fornix for suspected intraperitoneal bleeding, ectopic pregnancy, or tubo-ovarian abscess.
