Why is it important to limit the quantity of cells used to prepare smear?
By applying to many cell in a smear it would become difficult to study the morphology of single cell as they will form clumps for e.g. if we want to study some cocci then it would be difficult to estimate there occurence i.e. either they are in chain or in cluster or may be diplococci or monococci.
Why is there need to fix the bacteria to the slide?
To heat fix a bacterial smear you would put the specimen on the slide and either put slide on a slide warmer or over a Bunsen burner for a few seconds. Heat fixing a bacterial smear does kill the specimen but it makes the bacteria stick the slide to withstand the rinsing process.
During the performance of the simple staining procedure you failed to heat fix your EColi smear preparation Upon microscopic examination how would you expect this slide to differ from correct slide?
The bacterial smear will wash away during the staining procedure. This is avoided by heat fixation, during which the bacterial proteins are coagulated and fixed to the glass surface.

No, it does not need to be removed for a Pap smear. The annual gyn exam and testing can be done with the Nuva Ring in place. Not that I know of. I have had a pap smear done with it in. It may just be the practitioner's preference. If so, then she/he can probably remove and place it back immediately after the exam. But I would leave it in and inform my practitioner.
Can you heat fix blood smear before staining for bacterial examination?
You absolutely do not heat fix a blood smear before staining, that is, if you are looking at the blood cells. For bacteria, why wouldn't you culture it first and then heat fix, stain etc. I don't think heat fixing the blood stain would damage the bacterial cells so much as make it hard to differentiate the bacterial cells from the dead, shriveled, ruined blood cells, unless maybe you have like an electron microscope or something.
