A patient who has had a hysterectomy calls and is very upset because a neighbor told her that she should have been having annual Pap/pelvic exams following her hysterectomy three years ago. The patient states that she was never informed about this and wants to know if the neighbor is correct.
1. Is the neighbor correct? Should the patient still have Pap/pelvic exams even though she had a hysterectomy? Explain the reason for your answer.
2. How will you address the patient regarding the fact that she was never told she was supposed to continue to have her annual Pap/pelvic exam?
