Based on the standard of care, a colposcopy or biopsy of the cervix is indicated. A Pap smear is done to evaluate the cervix. There is no indication that mammography, which is used to assess and evaluate breast tissue, is required. There is no evidence to warrant a bone scan. Although a transvaginal ultrasound might be included in the treatment plan, the Pap smear indicates cervical pathology so a colposcopy or biopsy is indicated.
