Question and answer
Question 3
pts
Which laboratory test is considered adequate for an accurate and reliable diagnosis of
gonococcal urethritis in a symptomatic man?
• Ligase chain reaction (LCR)
• Gram-stain technique
• Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
• DNA testing
Microscopic evaluation of Gram-stained slides of clinical specimens is deemed positive for
Neisseria gonorrhoeae if gram-negative diplococci with the typical “kidney bean” morphologic
appearance are found inside polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Such a finding is considered
adequate for the diagnosis of gonococcal urethritis in a symptomatic man. The other options
are not relevant to the diagnosis of this condition.
Question 4
pts
The Papanicolaou (Pap) test is used to screen for which cancer?
• Ovarian
• Uterine
• Cervical
• Vaginal
The Pap test, an examination of cervical epithelial scrapings, readily detects early oncogenic
human papillomavirus (HPV)infection. The Pap test is not used for screening the other cancer
sites listed.
