Answer to Question 1

1. Pregnancy

Rationale:
Pregnancy can be associated with an exacerbation of SLE due to the rise of estrogen levels. Hypotension, fever, and GI upset are not factors that risk exacerbation of SLE.

Answer to Question 2

4. Papanicolaou smear.

Rationale:
The client is complaining of a strange discharge from her vagina. A Papanicolaou smear would be the most helpful in diagnosing the cause of the client's symptoms. The other diagnostic tests may or may not help diagnose this client's health problem.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
