A Papanicolaou smear is used to?

Detect cervical cancer
Measure blood glucose level
Identify viral infections
Screen for high cholesterol

The correct answer is: Detect cervical cancer

The Papanicolaou smear, also known as the Pap test, is a medical screening that is used to detect signs of cervical cancer. This test is not used to measure blood glucose level, identify viral infections, or screen for high cholesterol. Therefore, options B, C, and D can be ruled out as they do not align with the intended purpose of a Papanicolaou smear.
