What is the ASCCP recommended management for an ASCUS (atypical squamous cells of undetermined
significance) pap result with a positive high-risk HPV 16 cotest in a 26-year-old woman without a history of
abnormal pap smears?
Colposcopy
A well-woman visit for an adolescent should include which of the following?
A general health history focusing on reproductive and sexual health concerns (menses, gynecologic,
and pregnancy related) and psychosocial (family related, peer related, emotional, and physical as
well as related to abuse, drug use, and alcohol use) concerns
Physical exam, screening tests, and immunizations as indicated by the health history and gynecologic
considerations for an external-only inspection of the genitalia
ACOG Pap smear guidelines- starts at age 21 and is done every three years. Age 30 and older doe a pap and HPV
every five years if co test is done, if just pap then do every 3 years. Can stop at age 65 if a negative history for 1o
years or if the patient has had a hysterectomy with no history of cervical cancer.
A Bethesda system Pap smear report that reads LSIL is most consistent with which classification?
CIN 1
A single Pap smear reading of ASCUS in a patient negative for HPV infection should have what as follow-up?
Routine screening
A female patient is 35 years old. She has never had an abnormal PAP smear and has had regular screening since age
18. If she has a normal PAP smear with HPV testing today, when should she have the next cervical cancer
screening?
5 years
A young sexually active client at the family planning clinic is advised to have a Papanicolaou (Pap) smear. She has
never had a Pap smear before. What should the nurse include in the explanation of this procedure?
The Pap smear can detect cancer of the cervix
Lab results on your 26-year-old patient show a negative Pap smear with a positive human papillomavirus (HPV)
screen. Which procedure will be required next?
Repeat Pap and HPV screen
Which of the following is not part of the criteria for an older woman to cease having any future Pap tests performed?
Over 55 years of age
Amenorrhea (Primary and Secondary)
Primary and Secondary Amenorrhea
Primary amenorrhea: No menarche by the age of 15 years (with or without development of secondary sexual
characteristics). Half of cases are caused by chromosomal disorders (50%) such as Turner syndrome.
Puberty is delayed if there is no breast development by age 13 years, absence of pubic
hair at age 14 years, and no menarche by age 15 years.
Secondary amenorrhea: No menses for three cycles, or 6 months if previously had menses. Most common
cause is ).
Secondary Amenorrhea Associated With Exercise and Underweight
Excessive exercise and/or sports participation have a higher incidence of amenorrhea (and infertility) due to relative
caloric deficiency
"Female athlete triad"; anorexia nervosa/restrictive eating, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis
Labs
Pregnancy test (serum human chorionic gonadotropin [hCG])
Serum prolactin level (rule out prolactinoma-induced amenorrhea)
, 3
Nr 602 wk 8 poss questions
Serum TSH; also follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH; rule out
premature ovarian failure)
If amenorrhea for more than 6 months, measure bone density
Treatment Plan
Educate about increasing caloric intake and decreasing exercise
Prescribe calcium with vitamin D 1,200 to 1,500 mg daily and vitamin E 400 IU daily
Complications
Osteopenia/osteoporosis (stress fractures)
Myocardial atrophy, arrhythmia (sudden death), bradycardia, hypotension
Hypoglycemia, dehydration, electrolytes
Lanugo (fine downy hair), telogen effluvium (hair loss), xerosis (dry skin), infertility
Low body mass index (BMI), cachexia, anemia, respiratory failure
You are evaluating a 17-year-old Emily who presented with amenorrhea and normal secondary sex characteristics.
The purpose of the progesterone challenge is to ascertain the presence of?
Endogenous estrogen
A 17-year-old female patient presents with amenorrhea for 4 months she did experience menarche at age 15 but had
not had a menstrual cycle since. On physical examination, it is noticed that she has normal secondary sexual
characteristics. The nurse practitioner will consider a progesterone challenge to determine the presence of adequate
Endogenous estrogen
A teenage patient presents with amenorrhea and moral secondary sex characteristics. A progesterone challenge is
ordered. The purpose is to determine the presence of ____________?
Endogenous estrogen
A 16year old girl who comes to your office with a history of secondary amenorrhea. She experienced menarche at
age 10, regular cycles for 2 years. She has not menstruated now for 4 years. In your initial consideration of
differential diagnoses, what is the most frequent etiology of this problem:
Eating disorder
18yo female c/o secondary amenorrhea. On exam, there is normal secondary sex characteristics and normal
genitalia. Pregnancy is ruled out. What would necessitate further eval?
Galactorrhea
Primary amenorrhea is best described as:
Failure to menstruation to occur by 13 yr
A nurse practitioner is caring for a woman with primary and secondary amenorrhea. The pelvic exam was normal.
Which of the following may be the cause if etiology originates in the hypothalamus?
Sheehan’s syndrome
American Cancer Society recommendations
Mammography remains the single best screening procedure for the early detection of breast cancer. The
majority of breast cancers in the United States are detected as a result of an abnormal screening study
A positive family history of breast cancer is recognized as a risk factor for the subsequent development of
breast cancer. With the discovery of 2 major breast cancer predisposition genes, BRCA1 (17q21) and BRCA2
(13q12-13), there has been increasing interest in genetic testing. Mutations in these 2 genes are associated with an
elevated risk for breast cancer, as well as ovarian, colon, prostate, and pancreatic cancers.
Brest Cancer
Breast cancer is the main cause of death for women between the ages of 40 and 59 breast cancer is the most
common cancer among women of all ethnic groups, although the incidence of the disease is highest among white
patients. Inherited genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations, Fibrocystic changes of the breast and other
nonproliferative breast lesions are not associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Clinical staging is based on
the TNM (tumor, node, metastasis) system of the International Union Against Cancer. Most patients with palpable
breast cancers present with painless masses in the breast, most of which are discovered by the patient herself
physical examination should be carried out with the patient sitting, arms at sides and then overhead.
Symptoms- Early findings are a Single, nontender, firm to hard mass with ill-defined margins;
mammographic abnormalities and no palpable mass. Late findings are Skin or nipple retraction; axillary
lymphadenopathy; breast enlargement, redness, edema, brawny induration, peau d'orange, pain, fixation of mass to
skin or chest wall. Late late findings Ulceration; supraclavicular lymphadenopathy; edema of arm; bone, lung, liver,
brain, or other distant metastases.
