Screening is strongly recommended for cervical cancer in women who have been sexually active (Papanicolaou [Pap] smears).The incidence of carcinoma in situ is high in young adults.It does not screen for ovarian cancer.The US Preventative Services Task Force recommends against teaching breast self-examination and concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the additional benefits and harm of clinical breast examination beyond screening mammography for women 40 and older.After age 25, the preventive emphasis is on modifying coronary disease risk factors, which would be accomplished by discussing activity and weight control.Accordingly, choice "D" would be correct.
