Cervical smear management.
Lead-in.
There
are too many scenarios and the option list is too long. And some of the
“scenarios” are really MCQs. Don’t tell me – I know! I have tried to think of
all the questions that could arise. At some point I’ll chop it into several
bits to make the option list more sensible. A smaller option list would also
allow me to introduce more “tempters” that sound as though they should be the
correct answer.
The
following scenarios relate to the management of cervical smears.
Pick
one option from the option list.

of the following statements are true and which false?

between 3 & 6 months from the time of treatment.
