Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner Exam Prep

I would like to challenge this question because I believe the wording and answer choices are ambiguous. Current hepatitis C screening recommendations distinguish between pregnancy and routine adult screening. Pregnant patients are recommended to be screened during each pregnancy regardless of risk, while nonpregnant adults ages 18–79 are recommended to receive at least one lifetime screening regardless of risk. Therefore, the option stating “all women regardless of risk and age” is overly broad, while the pregnancy-specific option is also a valid screening recommendation. The 1945–1965 birth-cohort recommendation reflects older guidance. I believe this question should be revised to specify whether it is asking about screening during pregnancy or screening of the general adult population.
