What teaching point wouldthe nurse include?a. “HPV causes genital warts and cervical and other genitalcancers.”b. “HPV causes a single painless genital lesion and can leadto sterility.”c. “50% of women between the ages of 14 and 19 are infectedwith HPV”d. “The HPV vaccination is only recommended for the femalepopulation.”
Cervical Cancer Incidence in HPV-Positive Women A persistent infection with one of about 10 strains of genital HPV (human papillomavirus) is the main risk factor for cervical cancer. The virus spreads easily by sexual contact, but vaccines that prevent infection have been available since 2006. The vaccines consist of viral proteins that self-assemble into virus-like particles. The particles are not infectious (they contain no viral DNA), but their component proteins trigger an immune response that can prevent HPV infection and the cervical cancer it causes. In 2003, Michelle Khan and her coworkers published results of their 10-year study correlating HPV status with cervical cancer incidence in women (FIGURE 37.23). All 20,514 participants were free of cervical cancer when the study began. FIGURE 37.23 Cumulative incidence rate of cervical cancer correlated with HPV status. HPV16 positive HPV16 negative and HPV18 positive All other cancer-causing HPV types combined No cancer-causing HPV types was detected. At 110 months into the study, what percentage of women who were not infected with any type of cancer-causing HPV had cervical cancer? What percentage of women who were infected with HPV16 also had cancer?
Cervical Cancer Incidence In HPV-Positive Women In 2003, Michelle Khan and her coworkers published their findings on a 10-year study in which they followed cervical cancer incidence and HPV status in 20,514 women. All women who participated in the study were free of cervical cancer when the test began. Pap tests were taken at regular intervals, and the researchers used a DMA probe hybridization test (Section 15.3) to detect specific types of HPV in the women's cervical cells. The results are shown in FIGURE 37.26 as a graph of the incidence rate of cervical cancer by HPV type. HPV- positive women are often infected by more than one type, so the data were sorted into groups based on the women's HPV status ranked by type: either positive for HPV16; or negative for HPV16 and positive for HPV18; or negative for HPV16 and HPV18 and positive for any other cancer-causing HPV; or negative for all cancer-causing HPV. Follow-up time (months) FIGURE 37.26 Cumulative incidence rate of cervical cancer correlated with HPV status in, 20,514 women aged 16 years and cider. The data were grouped as follows: HPV16 positive HFV16 negative and HPV18 positive All other cancer-causing HPV Types combined No cancer-causing HPV type was detected. 2. In which group would women infected with both HPV16 and HPV18 fall?

Janel is a 31-year-old woman who has a positive screening mammogram. She consulted an oncologist aboutthe chance of this being actual breast cancer. Janel was referred for mammography because of a suspiciousbreast mass that has doubled its size over the past 3 months. Lesions were also noted. Among 1000hypothetical patients with a similar presentation, about 30% are estimated to have actual breast cancer. Assumethat mammography has a sensitivity of 98% and 95% specificity for detecting breast cancer. 43. How would a negative mammogram be interpreted in the context of Janel’s clinical presentation?A. Given a negative mammogram, 0.89% of clinical presentation is caused by a benign condition such ascyst or fibrous tissue.B. Given a negative mammogram, Janel has 0.89% chance of not having actual breast cancer. Follow upand additional testing is necessary.C. Given a negative mammogram, Janel has 99.11% probability of not having actual breast cancer. Thepresence of clinical presentation does…

Read the background information shown in the pictures about Governor Rick Perry’s mandatory HPV vaccination. Answer the following questions. 1.With the information provided, do you think Governor Perry did the right thing by mandating that all girls in the Texas public school system receive the HP vaccination? Or is it too early to be mandating Gardasil? Should it be offered to students but not required? How long should tests be conducted betore the vaccine is deemed sate? 2. The series of shots costs $36o. Should the cost of the immunization be borne by the state or by the individuals receiving the shots? 3.Do vou think Governor Perry's decision stemmed solely from his concern for the health of his constituents or did politics play a factor?
