## Section 1: Adolescent & Young Adult Women's Health (15 Questions)
**1.** The recommended age for the first pap smear (cervical cancer screening)
according to current USPSTF and ASCCP guidelines is:
A. Age 18
B. Age 21 (regardless of sexual history)
C. Age 25
D. Age 30
**Correct Answer: B**
*Rationale:* Screening begins at age 21. Cytology alone every 3 years. HPV co-
testing is not recommended under age 30 (high rate of transient HPV infection).
---
**2.** A 15-year-old female has not yet had her first menstrual period. This is
called:
A. Primary amenorrhea (absence of menarche by age 15)
B. Secondary amenorrhea
C. Oligomenorrhea
D. Menorrhagia
**Correct Answer: A**
,3|Page
*Rationale:* Primary amenorrhea is defined as no menarche by age 15 (or by age
13 with no secondary sexual characteristics). Evaluation includes karyotype
(Turner syndrome), androgen insensitivity, and outflow tract anomalies.
---
**3.** A 16-year-old female has regular periods and requests birth control pills for
acne and cycle regulation. Which statement is correct?
A. Birth control pills are first-line for acne in adolescents
B. Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) are safe and effective for acne and cycle
control
C. She must have a pelvic exam before starting OCPs
D. OCPs are contraindicated in adolescents
**Correct Answer: B**
*Rationale:* COCs are safe for adolescents and are FDA-approved for acne. Pelvic
exam is not required before prescribing OCPs (according to CDC guidelines);
history and blood pressure are sufficient.
---
**4.** The CDC recommends HPV vaccination for:
A. Girls and boys ages 11-12 (can start at age 9)
B. Only girls
C. Only sexually active adolescents
, 4|Page
D. Only age 18 and older
**Correct Answer: A**
*Rationale:* Routine HPV vaccination (Gardasil 9) is recommended at age 11-12
(catch-up through age 26). It prevents HPV types 16, 18 (70% of cervical cancers)
and 6, 11 (90% of genital warts).
---
**5.** A 14-year-old female reports heavy periods lasting 10 days with clots,
causing school absenteeism. The most likely diagnosis is:
A. Anovulatory bleeding (dysfunctional uterine bleeding) common in adolescents
B. Endometriosis
C. Ectopic pregnancy
D. Uterine fibroids
**Correct Answer: A**
*Rationale:* Anovulatory cycles are common in the first 2-3 years after menarche
due to immature hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis. Treatment: NSAIDs,
tranexamic acid, or combined oral contraceptives.
