A female receives a PAP smear result indicating she has human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. As part of her education, the nurse will emphasize the need for continued follow-up since HPV is directly associated with:
A) Uterine cancer
B) Cervical dysplasia
C) Genital herpes lesions
D) Urinary tract infections
Ans: B
Feedback:
A relation between HPV and genital neoplasms has become increasingly apparent since the mid-1970s. HPV infection can be detected in cervical Papanicolaou (Pap) smears, with the first neoplastic changes noted on the Pap smear termed dysplasia. Testicular cancer is not associated with HPV. Although genital herpes (HSV) is also a sexually transmitted disease, it is a common cause of genital ulcers rather than cancer. Bacteria are the usual cause of urinary tract infections, rather than anogenital warts.
