Abdominal pain in a female patient requires a comprehensive history and physical examination, which includes a digital rectal exam (to check for any abnormalities in the rectum), a pelvic exam (to identify any possible gynecological issues), and a sexual history (to rule out any sexually transmitted infections or pregnancy-related issues). Therefore, all the options (A, B, and C) should be included in the assessment of a female patient with abdominal pain.
