During a routine physical of a 31-year-old non-Hispanic black woman, it was noted that the woman's BMI is 32, her only exercise is taking care of her two children, her last Pap test was 2 years ago, and her last clinical breast exam was 2 years ago

a. Needs to be scheduled for a Pap test
b. Needs to be scheduled for a clinical breast exam
c. Is at risk for type 2 diabetes
d. Is at risk for depression
ANS: c, d
Recommended screenings for women ages 19 to 39 are clinical breast exams and Pap test every 3 years. Obesity (a BMI of 30 or greater) places the woman at risk for type 2 diabetes; decreased physical activity places the woman at risk of depression.
