Answers:

it's better if you odn't know but i will let you know so you don't get so shocked.
the breast exam is basically the docter feeling your boobs.
pelvic is when the doctor feels your vagina inside and out he will stick two fingers in to check around
pap smear the doctor will insert a speculum to open your vagina and then use a swab to scrape some cells and they send that to the lab to check for std's
bimanual i think is when the doctor puts fingers in your vagina and presses on ure lower stomach for any unusual feeling
rectal is when the doctor sticks his finger in you butt hole (rectum) to check for any bumps, and you might feel the urge to use the bathroom when they do that so they usually give u a suppository which is a little waxy item the doctor will insert into your rectum to make you use the restroom so you will be cleaned out and wont go during the exam even though you will feel the urge to.
a rectovaginal exam is a digital rectal exam i believe that inserts some sort of camera in your rectum to check for anything wrong.


the nurse should take you through the steps. more descriptively. not to scare you or anything this does hurt but you won't die.
im me and i will explain more.
good luck
