CNM Certified Nurse Midwife

Answer: C - A 70-year-old woman with a new sexual partner requires a Pap smear. A woman over the age of 65 who has had only negative results in the past 10 years only needs a Pap smear test when she engages in a sexual relationship with a new partner. Otherwise, she may stop regular Pap smears. Women who are either over the age of 21 or sexually active (whichever comes first) should have Pap smears every two years. Women over the age of 30 who had three negative Pap smears in a row may have their Pap smears every three years.
