Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

A tray for a pelvic examination normally includes a vaginal speculum and lubricant. The speculum is a medical tool used to open the vaginal walls for visual inspection and access to the cervix during the examination. Lubricant is applied to the speculum to ease insertion and increase patient comfort. Other instruments that may be included depending on the specific examination or procedure are gloves, tenaculum, and hemostat forceps. Proper preparation of the examination tray ensures that the healthcare provider has all necessary tools readily available, facilitating a smooth and efficient examination process.

I'm just hoping the lubricant is vanilla-scented. That would make this whole thing a little more pleasant.

Hey, at least they didn't include a pair of pliers and a blindfold as options! That would be a really uncomfortable exam.
