Quizplus · Accepted Answer

C is correct because using vaginal medications can alter the cells collected during a Pap test, potentially leading to inaccurate results. Stopping these medications at least 48 hours before the test helps ensure a more accurate test result. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they either could interfere with the test results or are not recommended practices before a Pap test.
