The nurse is assisting a 30-year-old client in scheduling an appointment for a cervical biopsy. The nurse would recommend that the client schedule the testing at which time?
A) 1 week after completion of the client's menstrual cycle
B) 2 weeks before the onset of the client's menstrual cycle
C) 3 weeks after the onset of the client's menstrual cycle
D) 2 weeks after the cessation of the client's menstrual cycle
A
Feedback:
Because the client is premenopausal, the nurse would recommend scheduling the cervical biopsy for 1 week after the end of a menstrual period, when the cervix is least vascular. Scheduling the test for any other time would be inappropriate.
