Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Although self-breast exams are encouraged and considered an important aspect of breast health education, data regarding its efficacy is weak. Although she does not use birth control pills, there is no indication that she does not use other forms of birth control such as condoms that would also prevent against STDs. There is also no indication that she has had more than one sex partner and is at high risk for HIV infection. A cervical dysplasia screening is recommended for sexual active females. Therefore, the fact that she never had a Pap test to screen for cervical cancer and has been sexually active for the last 3 years is concerning.
