[Pap cell test laboratory report].
The Papanicolaou smear is done to detect preinvasive lesions (eg. dysplasia, carcinoma-in-situ) as well as invasive lesions. To ensure that a smear is suitable for laboratory examination, the nurse must know the reasons why a smear cannot be analysed. When a smear is sent to the laboratory it will analysed to see if any of the following are present: atypical cells, neoplastic cells, endometrial cells or infections. When the nurse gets the result back she must be able to interpret the results and be able to guide the patient to the correct form of treatment.
