KEY TOPICS TO REVIEW
• Pediatric health
• Women's health
• Clinical judgment and applicatio
,1. A 26-year-old woman presents for routine cervical cancer screening. Her Pap
smear result is ASCUS (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance), and
the co-test is positive for high-risk HPV type 16. She has no previous history of
abnormal Pap smears and otherwise has no significant gynecologic concerns.
According to the provided ASCCP management recommendation, what is the
appropriate next step in management for this patient?
Correct Answer: Colposcopy
The presence of high-risk HPV 16 with an ASCUS cytology result increases the
concern for clinically significant cervical disease. Colposcopy allows direct
visualization of the cervix and targeted biopsy of any suspicious areas to evaluate for
cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. This approach provides further diagnostic
assessment rather than relying solely on routine surveillance.
2. An adolescent presents to a primary care clinic for a well-woman visit. She has
questions about reproductive health, sexual health, relationships with family and
peers, emotional well-being, and general health behaviors. The clinician also wants
to identify possible concerns involving abuse, alcohol use, and drug use while
determining whether physical examination, screening tests, immunizations, or
gynecologic evaluation are indicated. What should a comprehensive well-woman
visit for this adolescent include?
Correct Answer: A general health history focusing on reproductive and sexual
health concerns, including menstrual, gynecologic, and pregnancy-related concerns,
as well as psychosocial concerns involving family, peers, emotions, physical well-
being, abuse, drug use, and alcohol use; physical examination, screening tests, and
immunizations should be provided as indicated by the health history and
gynecologic considerations.
A comprehensive adolescent well-woman visit should address more than
reproductive health alone. The assessment should include reproductive and sexual
health as well as psychosocial factors such as family and peer relationships,
,emotional health, possible abuse, and substance use. Physical examination,
appropriate screening tests, and immunizations are performed according to the
adolescent's health history and identified clinical needs.
3. A patient undergoes cervical cytology using the Bethesda System, and the
laboratory report identifies the cervical lesion as LSIL (low-grade squamous
intraepithelial lesion). The clinician explains that this cytologic finding represents a
low-grade abnormality associated with HPV-related cervical changes. Which
cervical intraepithelial neoplasia classification is most consistent with the LSIL
finding?
Correct Answer: CIN 1
LSIL is generally associated with low-grade cervical cellular changes and is most
consistent with CIN 1 in the provided classification. CIN 1 represents mild dysplasia
involving the lower portion of the cervical epithelium. These changes are commonly
associated with HPV infection and may regress spontaneously.
4. A patient has a single Pap smear result showing ASCUS, meaning atypical
squamous cells of undetermined significance. Subsequent HPV testing is negative,
and there are no additional abnormal cervical screening findings or concerning
clinical symptoms. Based on the provided follow-up recommendation, what should
be done next?
Correct Answer: Routine screening
A single ASCUS result with a negative HPV test indicates a lower likelihood of clinically
significant cervical disease. Routine screening is therefore the appropriate follow-up
according to the provided recommendation. Continued screening at the
recommended interval helps monitor cervical health while avoiding unnecessary
invasive evaluation.
5. A 35-year-old woman presents for routine cervical cancer screening. She has
never had an abnormal Pap smear and has consistently participated in regular
cervical cancer screening since age 18. Her current Pap smear is normal, and HPV
, testing performed at the same time is also normal. Based on the provided
screening recommendation, when should she have her next cervical cancer
screening?
Correct Answer: Five years
For a woman with a normal Pap smear and negative HPV testing, the provided
recommendation allows an extended screening interval. Five years is the stated
interval before the next cervical cancer screening in this scenario. The longer interval
reflects the lower risk associated with a negative co-test in an appropriately screened
patient.
6. A young sexually active client visits a family planning clinic and is advised to
undergo a Pap smear. She has never previously had cervical cytology and is
concerned about why the procedure is recommended. The nurse explains the
purpose of the test and how it contributes to preventive reproductive health care.
What important information should the nurse include when explaining the purpose
of a Pap smear?
Correct Answer: The Pap smear can detect cancer of the cervix.
A Pap smear examines cervical cells for abnormalities that may indicate precancerous
or cancerous changes. The Pap smear can detect cancer of the cervix and can also
identify cellular abnormalities that may require additional evaluation. Explaining the
preventive purpose of the procedure can help the patient understand the importance
of appropriate cervical cancer screening.
7. A 26-year-old patient returns to review cervical cancer screening results. Her Pap
smear is negative, but her HPV screening test is positive. She has no reported
history of abnormal cervical cytology and is otherwise clinically stable. Based on
the provided management recommendation, which procedure or follow-up testing
will be required next?
Correct Answer: Repeat Pap and HPV screen
