•D) Cervical cancer screening
•Correct!
•The USPSTF recommends screening for cervical cancer every 3 years with cervical cytology alone in women aged 21 to 29 years. For women aged 30 to 65 years, the USPSTF recommends screening every 3 years with cervical cytology alone, every 5 years with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing alone, or every 5 years with hrHPV testing in combination with cytology (co-testing).
•This may or may not directly relate to your patient today (depending on past testing and results), but needs to be considered and discussed for her preventative health.
•ProTip: Patients may not be “due yet” for certain screenings, but it is a good habit to review that fact with them and set the understanding for future screening needs.
