The 69-year-old patient laughs at the nurse when the nurse suggests that she should have a Pap smear and says, I had my uterus removed except for the cervix 30 years ago and I am almost 70.
Why in the world would I want to get a Pap smear at my age? What is the nurse's most informative reply?
a.
All persons who have a cervix remaining should be screened up to the age of 75.
b.

c.

d.
You are right. If you had no trouble so far, there is no need to do the smear.
