A 58-year-old woman presents to the gynecology clinic with complaints of painless vaginal bleeding. This is a possible symptom of the following health problems?

  1. Ovarian cyst
  2. Cervical or uterine cancer
  3. Hormonal imbalances
  4. Endometriosis
Explanation
Answer - B - Because painless vaginal bleeding is often the only symptom of cervical or uterine cancer, this client should be tested for cancer. Choices A and D are not probable given the client’s age. Hormonal imbalance (Choice C) may cause bleeding, but is less urgent than the threat of cancer.
