When you plan to obtain cytologic studies, speculum introduction may be facilitated by:
a. lubrication with gel.
b. lubrication with warm water.
c. use of a plastic speculum.
d. opening the blades completely.
B
It is generally thought that gel lubrication may interfere with cytologic studies; therefore, most clinicians lubricate the speculum with warm water. Although gel lubrication would facilitate speculum introduction, the gel could interfere with cytologic studies. Use of a plastic speculum or opening the blades completely would not facilitate speculum introduction.
