Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1

Answer to Question 2

D
To increase the accuracy of a cervical specimen, the patient should be told to avoid intercourse, douches, and vaginal creams for 24 hours before the test. The test should not be performed if the patient is menstruating. Drinking fluids will not impact on the test.
