22
Q 
During digital examination of the vagina, the cervix is noted to be positioned posteriorly. Upon bimanual exam of this woman, you would expect to palpate a(n) \_\_\_\_ uterus. 
A. Retroverted
B. Anteverted
C. Midline
D. Laterally deviated
E. Retroflexed
A

B. Anteverted

23
Q 
The presence of cervical motion tenderness may indicate
A. Pregnancy
B. Nulliparity
C. Pelvic inflammatory disease
D. Vulvovaginitis
E. Malignancy
A

C. PID

Painful cervical motion tenderness suggests a pelvic inflammatory disease or a ruptured tubal pregnancy. The cervix is expected to move 1 to 2 cm without discomfort under normal conditions

24
Q

Which one of the following is a proper technique for use of a speculum during a vaginal exam?
A. Allow the labia to spread; insert the speculum slightly open
B. Press the introitus upward; insert the closed speculum horizontally
C. Press the introitus downward; insert the closed speculum obliquely
D. Spread the labia; insert the closed speculum horizontally
E. Insert one finger; insert the opened speculum

A

C. Press the introitus downward; insert the closed speculum obliquely

Gently insert a finger of one hand to push the introitus down to relax the pubococcygeal muscle. Then hold the closed speculum with the other hand and insert the speculum past your finger obliquely.

25
Q 
During a routine vaginal exam, you insert the speculum and visualize the cervix. The cervix projection into the vaginal vault is approximately 5cm. Upon bimanual exam, you would expect to find the uterus
A. In the midline position
B. In the retroverted position
C. In the anteverted position
D. Deviated to the left or right
E. In the retroflexed position
A

D. Deviated to the left or right

Normally, the cervix protrudes into the vagina 1 to 3 cm. Longer projections suggest a pelvic or uterine mass. A pelvic mass would cause the uterus to be deviated to the right or left, but an anteverted, retroverted, or retroflexed uterus would still be in the midline regardless of its position.

26
Q 
Small, pale yellow, raised and rounded areas are visualized on the surface of the cervix. You should 
A. chart this as nabothian cysts
B. Chart this as a friable cervix
C. Obtain a viral culture
D. Test the pH of the cervical os
E. Chart this as an eroded cervix
A

A. chart this as nabothian cysts

This describes nabothian cysts, which are retention cysts of the endocervical glands and are considered a normal variant. No further testing is warranted.

27
Q 
An examiner rotated a brush several times into the cervical os. The brush was withdrawn and stroked lightly on a glass slide. The slide was sprayed with fixative. Which type of specimen requires this technique for collection?
A, Gonococcal culture
B. Cytology smear
C. Haemophilus smear
D. Trichomonas smear
E. Fungal cultures
A

B. Cytology smear

28
Q 
When collecting specimens, which sample should be obtained first?
A. Chlamydia swab
B. Gonococcal culture
C. Pap smear
D. Wet mount 
E. Potassium hydroxide prep
A

C. Pap smear

A Pap smear is performed first; then other tests for gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Trichomonas, bacterial vaginosis, or candidiasis are done. Pap smear results are affected by the presence of blood, and vaginal infections result in more friable tissues; therefore, the Pap smear should be done first.

29
Q 
Dacron swabs are necessary when testing for which condition?
A. Candidiasis
B. Pregnancy
C. Trichomonas
D. Bacterial vaginosis
E. Chlamydia
A

E. Chlamydia

DNA probe for gonorrhea and Chlamydia uses a Dacron swab because a wooden cotton-tipped applicator may interfere with the test results.

30
Q 
The visualization of a large proportion of "clue cells" on your wet mount slide exam suggests
A. Trichomonal infection
B. Bacterial vaginosis
C. Candidiasis
D. Gonorrhea
E. Cervical cancer
A

B. Bacterial vaginosis

Clue cells are present in bacterial vaginosis. Hyphae are present in candidiasis, and flagella are present in trichomonal infection. Gonorrhea and cervical cancer cannot be identified on a wet mount.

31
Q 
The presence of a fishy odor after dropping KOH on a wet mount slide containing vaginal mucus suggests
A. Bacterial vaginosis
B. Yeast infection
C. Chlamydial infection
D. Pregnancy
E. Gonorrhea
A

A. Bacterial vaginosis

32
Q 
A fixed uterus may indicate

D. Allows the examiner to reach almost 2.5cm higher into the pelvis

35
Q 
Prominent labia minor are a normal finding in 
A. Adolescents
B. Menopausal women
C. Newborns
D. Pregnant women
E. Postmenopausal women
A

C. Newborns

Newborn genitalia findings are the result of maternal hormones. Both the labia majora and minora are swollen, with the minora often being more prominent.

36
Q 
Swollen and bruised genitalia in a newborn are most likely related to 
A. Breech delivery
B. Congenital defect
C. Infection
D. Maternal hormones
E. Enlarged clitoris
A

A. Breech delivery

Although the genitalia of a newborn girl can be swollen because of maternal hormones, swelling and bruising are more likely from a breech delivery.

37
Q 
The most common cause of a foul vaginal discharge in children is a(n)
A. Rectocele
B. Foreign body
C. Infection
D. Rupture hymen
E. Accident
A

B. Foreign body

38
Q

A 3y/o girl is being seen because of a foul vaginal odor. To inspect the vaginal vault, you should first
A. Insert a pediatric vaginal speculum
B. Place your hand firmly against the labia and spread your fingers
C. Insert a cotton-tipped applicator and press down
D. Pull the labia anteriorly and slightly to the side
E. Place the child prone and in the fetal position

A

D. Pull the labia anteriorly and slightly to the side

Applying anterior labial traction allows the hymenal opening to become visible as well as the interior of the vagina, almost to the cervix. The presence of a foreign body will be visible with this maneuver.

39
Q 
A mother brings her 8y/o daughter to the clinic because the child says it hurts to urinate after she fell while riding her bicycle. Upon inspection, you find posterior vulvar and gross perineum bruising. These findings are consistent with
A. Chronic masturbation
B. Congenital defects
C. Acute UTI
D. Sexual abuse
E. Malignancy
A

D. Sexual abuse

A straddle injury from a bicycle seat is usually evident over the symphysis pubis; injuries resulting from sexual molestation are generally more posterior and may involve the perineum grossly.

40

A. At menarche
B. By 15
C. By 18
D. By 21
E. By 30

43
Q 
During a pelvic exam for a postmenopausal woman, you would expect to assess
A. A wider and longer vaginal vault
B. Absence of vaginal wall rugation
C. A non palpable cervical os
D. A more mobile cervix
E. Palpable ovaries
A

B. Absence of vaginal wall rugation

Expected findings in the pelvic examination for an older woman include a narrower and shorter vagina, absence of rugation, a less mobile cervix, and a palpable cervical os. The ovaries are rarely palpable because of atrophy.

44
Q

What accommodations should be used in the position of a hearing-impaired woman for a pelvic exam?
A. Patient should assume the “M” or “V” position
B. Patient should be in the diamond-shaped position
C. Head of the table should be elevated
D. Lithotomy position with obstetric stirrups should be used
E. Patient should be in the knee-chest position

A

C. Head of the table should be elevated

The woman with a hearing impairment will need to see the clinician or an interpreter during the examination; therefore, her head should be elevated.

45
Q 
Asking the woman to close the introitus during a pelvic exam is a test for 
A. Endometriosis
B. Rectocele
C. Cervical polyps
D. Muscle tone
E. Cystocele
A

D. Muscle tone

Test for muscle tone is to have the woman squeeze the vaginal opening around your finger. A rectocele can be seen as a bulge on the posterior wall. A cystocele will be seen as bulge on the anterior wall. Endometriosis is suggested with tender nodules along the uterosacral ligaments. Cervical polyps can be inspected without squeezing.

46
Q 
Which of the following is a normal component of physiologic vaginitis seen on a wet mount?
A. 3-5 WBCs
B. Clue cells
C. Branching hyphae

B. Scant and curdy with a low pH
C. Profuse and frothy with a high pH
D. Profuse and curdy with a low pH
A

C. Profuse and frothy with a high pH

Trichomonal infection produces a profuse, frothy discharge with a pH of 5 to 6.6 (normal is less than 4.5).

48
Q

A young, sexually active woman comes to the urgent care clinic complaining of suprapubic abdominal pain. She is afebrile with rebound tenderness to the right side. There is no dysuria or vaginal discharge or odor. A pelvic exam is done. She has pain with cervical motion, and you palpate a painful mass over the left adnexal area. Your prioritized action is to

B. Obtain a surgical consult immediately
C. Remove the foreign body
D. Dip her urine and then swab for Chlamydia
E. Diagnose ovarian cyst and schedule follow-up

A
