Question

Women should begin having Pap tests by age 21 and have repeat tests every 2 to 3 years; therefore,this would be an appropriate topic to include in a health promotion class.While adult women may require booster tetanus immunizations or other specific immunizations if they travel abroad,this is not a priority concern for most young women.Annual mammograms are not recommended for healthy young adult women unless they have a specific risk factor,such as a history of breast cancer at a young age in their family; therefore,this topic is less important overall.Screening colonoscopies are recommended to begin at age 50,so that is not a topic that needs to be included in this class.
