Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Pederson speculum is more appropriate for a teen patient or a patient who has not had sexual intercourse, as it is narrower and more comfortable for patients with a smaller vaginal canal. The Graves speculum, which is wider and more commonly used for patients who have had sexual intercourse or are older, might not be the best choice for a first vaginal examination in a teen. The Killian and Vienna speculums are not typically used for vaginal examinations; they are used in other types of medical procedures.
